| When To Go (Source: Fodors) | Top | Zion is the most heavily visited national park in Utah, receiving nearly 2.5 million visitors each year. Most visitors come between April and October, when upper Zion Canyon is accessed only by free shuttle bus to reduce traffic congestion. Summer in the park is hot and dry except for sudden cloudbursts, which can create flash flooding and spectacular waterfalls. Expect afternoon thunderstorms between July and September. In the summer sun, wear sunscreen and drink lots of water, regardless of your activity level. Winters are mild at lower desert elevations, so consider planning your visit for some time other than peak season.
