Zion National Park

In each national park we visited in Utah, at least one person we met said “wait until you get to Zion“. After spending a day there, I can’t say it met the hype but it’s easily one of the best national parks in the country.

During my visit, the weather didn’t cooperate but it didn’t take away from the scenery. My main reason for visiting, the Angels Landing Trail, was closed. Also, we only visited Zion Canyon, the main part of the park, and didn’t venture out to the lesser known areas to the north.
