Local tips, the places we've checked, and tours.
Local tips
- Personal vehicles are banned in Zion canyon in peak season — the free park shuttle is efficient
- The Narrows (hiking up the Virgin River) requires a permit in spring; fall is permit-free and less crowded
- Book lodging in Springdale 3-6 months ahead for spring/fall — limited rooms in a small town
- Kolob Canyons section of Zion (30 min north) is nearly empty and equally dramatic
