Why Winter is the Best Time to Visit Zion National Park

It’s mid-June and most of the western US is currently experiencing record-setting heat.

This week’s vlog showing off our trip to Zion National Park will be like a breath of fresh air— or a dip in an icy stream.

When we visited Zion National Park, there was snow on the ground, dried leaves on all the trees, and best of all no people!

I can’t tell you how much we loved visiting Zion in the winter. The colder weather was nothing we couldn’t handle with a little snow gear and a bike ride to warm up.

Wild turkeys foraged for food and bright red clay soil poked through the scattered snow.

I couldn’t imagine it being any more beautiful, and I would visit Zion in the winter again in a heartbeat! I think it’s totally underrated. See all the places we explored (including exact GPS coordinates) in our Zion National Park travel guide.

So if beating the crowds sounds like a win for you, watch the video above to find out why Zion is the perfect winter national park destination!
