Select participants and date
You step off the coach and the air shifts—thinner, cooler, laced with dust and the faint green of cottonwoods. The canyon walls rise like folded pages of an ancient book, their orange faces catching the sun and throwing it back in hard, honest color. For roughly six hours the park is yours to thread: wide, paved riverside walks that flirt with the Virgin River, moss-slimed steps to Emerald Pools, and the damp hush of Weeping Rock where water leaks from porous stone like time itself.

Adventure Tips
Hydrate for the desert
Bring 1.5–2 liters of water and sip regularly—the dry air and sun accelerate dehydration even on cool days.
Wear grippy footwear
Trails range from paved to slick rock and damp sections near the river—sturdy hiking shoes with good traction are recommended.
Plan around the shuttle
Park access often requires using the Zion shuttle; note its schedule so you return to your meeting point in time for departure.
Check permit rules
Angels Landing and extended Narrows routes require permits—confirm restrictions if you plan to attempt these hikes.

History
The valley was historically used by Southern Paiute communities and later settled by Mormon pioneers; Zion became a national park in 1919.
Conservation
Zion manages congestion with a shuttle system and advises Leave No Trace practices; flash floods and fragile cryptobiotic soils mean stay on trails and pack out waste.
