Zion National Park is an all time favorite park for me and somewhere I go nearly every year. I think I'm so obsessed with it because it is so unique compared to every other national park and feels like a completely different world. The massive sandstone cliffs, the slot canyons, the hikes — it is unlike anywhere else I've ever been. This guide covers the best hikes, places and restaurants to go to in Zion as well as some of the top spots to hit outside of the park in the surrounding towns. I've included a mix of must-see areas (despite being touristy) and some lesser-known hikes that are just as beautiful as the iconic ones. This is a living map, meaning that every time I return to Zion and do something new (which is often), I'll add to it, and you'll get all of the updates automatically!
