Zion is beautiful and very popular with climbers 🙂
There are lots of opportunities for hikes, so there is something for everyone. We were first at the Emerald Pools, then a good bit with the park bus (shuttle) and then to the Virgin Narrows - but only at the beginning, the one and a half to two hours through quite fresh water (sometimes knee-deep and wading higher) was us then too cold 💦 see komoot.de/tour/22214803

Zion National Park is one of the most amazing in the southwestern states. Here, you will find one of the most dangerous and exciting hikes: Angels Landing. Since it is very famous, start early to avoid the crowds. But there are also other stunning hikes. Try the West Rim Trail with some backcountry camping to find solitude. But don't forget your permit! If you want to do shorter, easy hikes, the Emerald Pools are for you.
In the summer months, cars are not allowed to drive into the canyon, but you can take the free shuttle to start and end your hikes.
