When's the best time to visit Zion National Park?

I’ve visited four out of the five national parks in Utah, but I still have Zion National Park on my list. However, I don’t want to deal with massive crowds unless it’s absolutely worth it. What’s the best time to visit Zion National Park?

As the most-visited park in
Utah
, Zion National Park offers stunning geographic features and landscapes that are unique to the area. While summer is most popular with tourists, you won’t see nearly as many tourists in other months. The best time to visit Zion National Park is in the fall, which is prime time for hiking while avoiding canyon runoff and 100-degree temperatures.
During your fall trip to Zion National Park, add some of these activities and experiences to your itinerary:
  • Hike through the Narrows. The narrowest part of Zion Canyon, this is one of the most photographed and famous places in any national park.
  • Take the one-mile Canyon Overlook Loop. This trail takes you to the top of Zion Canyon to enjoy the spectacular scenery from above.
  • Watch a sunset at Lava Point. Situated in the less-visited Kolob Terrace portion of the park, Lava Point allows you to see the sun cascade down the red rock canyon in an epic fashion.
Although Zion National Park is less remote than some of the other parks in Utah, add some peace of mind to your trip through
