Zion National Park Day Trip Guide

It is said that traveling is very relaxing😎, but most national parks are actually for traveling/climbing⛰️, but in Zion National Park you can experience playing in the water🌊 - ⏱Play time: Almost half a day, about 6 hours - 💵Ticket price: $35/car, if you plan to go to Bryce Canyon National Park, 🉑buy an annual pass for $80 🎫Ticket purchase method: Purchase on-site at the entrance of the national park - 🤔Hike vs. play in the water: There are two major attractions in Zion National Park - Angels Landing (hiking route🥾, the trail is steep, some sections require climbing chains, suitable for adventurous mountaineering enthusiasts, but you need to draw lots on the official website before going) and The Narrows (wading trail route🌊, go upstream along the stream, a very unique experience😆), but there is only enough time to visit one in a day. - 🤩Attractions Introduction Pine Creek Canyon Overlook: It takes 1 mile to climb and half an hour to go back and forth. Parking is very difficult and there are only a few parking spaces🅿️ East Entrance Ranger Station: Check in at the national park gate, the scenery along the way is quite beautiful🤩 Zion Canyon Visitor Center: Learn knowledge 📖, you can rent water equipment (water shoes 🥾, socks 🧦 and hiking sticks 🥢, a total of $32) at the Zion Outfitter store next to it, and then take a bus here 🚌 to The Narrows and go directly to the last stop The Narrows: You will walk on a flat road for half an hour before the water passage starts. Wear comfortable shoes first, and then change your equipment when you get to the water passage. The water was quite shallow at the beginning, but it got deeper and deeper as we walked. By the end, the water was above our waists. 😱 Because we were going upstream, we walked more slowly. Don't think about challenging the whole journey, you can turn back when you are tired - 🅿️Parking at the Visitor Center: Although the parking lot is not small, it is extremely difficult to find a parking space! If this parking lot is full, you can go to the second bus stop (the visitor center is the first stop) and wait for the bus there; if that is also full, you can only go to the Zion Outfitter paid parking lot outside the park and then walk to the visitor center (a 5-minute walk)
