Tips and insights for making the most of your time in Zion.
Weather & Seasons
Zion is spectacular year-round. Spring and fall offer mild temperatures ideal for hiking. Summers are hot but perfect for canyoneering and river walks. Winter brings quieter trails and occasional dustings of snow on the canyon rims.
View forecast →Getting There
Zion is located in southwestern Utah, about 2.5 hours from Las Vegas and 4.5 hours from Salt Lake City. The nearest gateway town is Springdale, right at the park's south entrance. Shuttle service runs within the park during peak season.
Best Time to Visit
March through May and September through November are peak seasons with the best weather. Book lodging early for these months. If you want solitude, try January or February when the park sees fewer visitors and the red rocks contrast beautifully with snow.
