Zion National Park.Utah,
It is believed the first people to explore what is now Zion National Park entered the canyon looking for food. Thousands of years later more than 4 million people come from around the world to feed more than their bodies. Most visitors today come to nourish their souls with the sight of the verdant valleys and vermillion cliffs of Zion, one of the most visited national parks in the United States.
Get the most of your time in Zion by doing homework and figuring out what goals you have while visiting the park. Be realistic about the time it will take to complete your list by considering delays due to crowds. Be clear about your own physical limitations and don’t push yourself to exhaustion — there are plenty of strenuous hikes, canyoneering routes and other activities that can wear out even the fittest person. Recognizing these challenges will make your trip more memorable for all the right reasons. Don’t let poor shoes, sunburn or dehydration ruin your long-planned adventure.
