2-3 Days - Zion Bliss: Zion National Park-Utah
Logistics Zion
In the Summer, you have to ride the shuttles (Springdale and Zion). It's hot, so bring lots of water when entering the park. However, each shuttle stop has a refilling station.
In the Winter, you can drive into the park with your car because barely anyone is there! It does get cold, so bring appropriate clothing. It does snow so plan accordingly.
When I went with my mom, it did not rain/snow at the moment (first week of January).
Where to Sleep
Let's Eat
In the Summer, we also went grocery and mostly bbq and cooked our meals since the amenities were more available and accessible. Plus, the weather was nice.
Heck no, I'm not cooking. I'm on vacation.
