The Itinerary

Zion National Park hosts one of the world's most beautiful valleys: red sandstone cliffs up to 600 m, the Virgin River and iconic trails. Best in spring or fall — summer is brutal.

Angels Landing (8 km return) is one of America's most iconic hikes: a vertiginous ridge with chains to hold onto, 360° views. The Narrows: hiking through the river itself between 300-m walls. Emerald Pools, Canyon Overlook, and the Pa'rus Trail (bike accessible). Park shuttle required in season.
