Zion National Park in Photos
If there is one place that we would have liked to stay longer during our Intrepid Travel Adventure through America, it is Zion National Park. After two days in Vegas (That sounds like a movie title) we arrived to a peaceful and incredibly beautiful park, but didn’t have the opportunity to truly explore the place. We only had one night at the most charming lodge and we could have stayed here for days.
Zion is one of those places where people chill for awhile. It has incredible hiking trails such as Angels Landing which take the hiker over high cliffs with shear drops and magnificent views. People spend lazy afternoons or several days hiking through Zion and then take in the town’s laid back vibe before heading back out into the wilderness. There’s plenty of restaurants and B&B’s lining the street and Zion even has a giant movie screen just outside the gate entrance. When we were there, The Dark Night was playing.
We didn’t have a lot of time to see Zion National Park but the few hours we spent in the park sold us on returning soon to get back in touch with nature.
While we can’t tell you about a grand adventure in one of America’s most beloved national parks, we can share a series of photos taken quickly during our race to beat sunset. Here is what we got. Like everything in this part of the US, the scenery is stunning so you won’t be disappointed with even a short visit to Zion.

Very nice… I can just see myself falling down those cliffs and it not being pretty…
So pretty! I really regret not allowing enough time to stop at Zion on my own road trip last summer. We opted for Arches instead (which was amazing… but still).
Next time, though, for sure!
Your photos are amazing and I’ve never even heard of Zion National Park before (eek). Definitely one for my bucket list.
The Zion National Park looks amazing. Definitely looks like a place for hiking. The top photo of the river and the mountain looks stunning, nature at its best.
Your pictures are stunning. You obviously have the photographer’s gift! Don’t know about anyone else but it makes me want to visit!
It’s hard not to fall in love with Zion or any of the parks in the US southwest in my pinion. I am heading to Bruce Canyon and the Escalante Wilderness area for week of hiking in October and so looking forward to it.
GORGEOUS photos Dave. Hope you guys had a chance to do some of the great hikes in Zion.
With those pictures, you have undoubtedly an eye in photography. I love your stunning photos of Zion National Park which looks so inviting to visit!
Wow – beautiful photographs, thanks for sharing, I really want to go to Utah now!
I’ve had the chance to spend some time in Zion’s and I love it. You are right, its a place to spend some time enjoying nature and having a relaxing time admiring the beauties of the world.
Thanks for the post, your pictures are amazing.
Zion is a beauty. I too visited it a few years ago. One of the natural wonders of this world. Such wonderful pictures. Thanks. Bryce Cannon is said to be equally as fabulous and that both places are magical in the winter. Hmmm, is it time to start packing my winter gear…so many places and so little time. Thanks again for such a wonderful post.
Never did I know that Zion National Park is this beautiful. I wonder how it feels like to hike over these reddish color soils and what movie will be playing when we visit the park.
Thanks a ton for sharing gorgeous photographs of Zion National park. No doubt a picture says 100 words.
I and my husband would love to visit the Zion National Park. My husband always says it has been his dream to hike and to see those mountain ranges.

Wow! The colors in these photos are stunning! Awesome photography and great photo-editing too!
Zion’s is one of my favorite places in Utah and you help capture the beauty of Zions. I must say if you ever want to go on an amazing hike in Zion my favorite is the Subway in Kolob Terrace/Canyon. It is an awesome hike. For more information on it go to http://utahexperienced.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the information. Cheers
Gorgeous. I’d love it there. Utah in general seems a very interesting place.
We’d like to explore more of Utah as well. It’s just like stepping back into an old Western movie every where you turn. Just Beautiful.
Incredible photos, you guys really have a talent for capturing nature at its best. I can picture myself wandering through the canyon for days without a care in the world. There is something curiously pleasurable about gazing up at nature and feeling so small.
What a wonderful post. The pictures you posted are truly amazing. The Zion National Park looks amazing. Definitely looks like a place for hiking.
Pretty rugged landscape there!! Beautiful captures.
It certainly is. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for the early settlers.
Wow, these are palms down some of he most amazing pictures of The Zion.
Thanks for this great share.
We’re trying to plan a photo trip out west for later in the summer. Zion, Arches and Antelope Canyon are the contenders. Going to be a tough choice but I’m sure we can’t go wrong either way. Thanks for posting these!
