Zion National Park, in southwestern Utah, attracts more than 2.5 million visitors per year: Most visitors come for the eight-mile main canyon, where the visitor center is located and popular trails begin. Although the park is open all year, spring is the most pleasant time to visit, when the waterfalls are at their peak.
Expect a varied landscape—from multicolored sandstone to deep gorges to waterfalls. Navigate steep paths that lead to hanging gardens and deserts. Keep an eye out for all kinds of wildlife, including falcons and quail. Get your kids excited about wildlife and their environment through the park’s Junior Ranger Program, which takes place twice daily. Challenge yourself on the park’s most famous hiking trail, the 12.5-mile stretch called The Narrows; but come prepared—you’ll need a permit.
