Did Angel's Landing hike. The hike was amazing. The first pic, you end at the top of that!!! Some parts do test your nerves a little. 4 stars because we went off season on a Sunday. The lines were crazy(line to get in, line for the tram, lines of people on the trail.). The whole area charges quite a bit for parking. Seriously, there were parking meters on the dirt off the road side. Since we had to park and walk in, better signage would have been helpful. But like a lot of parks now...the overcrowding is out of control. I hate the permitting and lottery system, but understand it is needed.

Words don't do this place justice. One of Utahs big 5 National Parks, it does not disappoint. I parked at the visitor center and road the free tram system from station to station. There are 9 stops each with a different set of trails and features. Museum, Lodge, The Grotto and more. The property is just stunning. I had no Verizon cell service through most of the park. Wifi is available at the visitor center, museum and lodge.

Absolutely recommendable. Prepare what you want to do in the park. We arrived rather spontaneously from Las Vegas and were not well prepared, but we had a great walk to the Narrows and then a short hike to the Emerald Pools. For us, this was the most beautiful national park we visited. We will definitely come back better prepared.

The location features a gift shop and bathrooms for visitors. One key discovery we made was about the roadways. While some are accessible to cars, others are restricted, requiring visitors to take a bus. We also learned the importance of packing fisherman overalls and waterproof shoes. On one of the trails, you have the option to walk through a river. However, caution is necessary, as the river contains bacteria that can cause illness if it comes into contact with an open wound, or enters the eyes or mouth.

Beautiful area with decent sized parking. Lots of boards around telling you about Zion. Gift shop with many items. Free shuttles to all parts of the park. Bathrooms as well. Parking is packed, but you can find a spot eventually. Make sure to bring water during the summer. During the rain, be careful since parts of the park can be muddy and harder to go throughout.
