Insider 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
