Filled with staggering beauty, drama, and power, Southern Utah seems like a place of myth.

Zion National Park contains stunning contrasts, with towering rock walls deeply incised by steep canyons containing a verdant oasis of cottonwood trees and wildflowers. Bryce Canyon National Park is famed for its red-and-pink hoodoos, delicate fingers of stone rising from a steep mountainside. At sunrise, the light is magical, the air crisp, and the trails nearly empty.

There are countless ways to explore the parks. Trek through narrow canyons, take in sweeping vistas on a scenic drive, or explore hoodoos up close on horseback. Whatever you choose, once youve caught a glimpse of the regions magnificence, its likely youll want to start planning your return trip.

At the end of the 1-mile (1.6-km) walk, the trail goes into the river, but water-hiking the Narrows is a seasonally accessible, full-day plunge that demands preparation. Save it for your next trip.

Navajo Loop hoodoos

The parks are both open year-round, although spring and early fall are the most pleasant times to visit. These are also the busiest seasons, and travelers may find that popular campgrounds and hotels are booked well in advance.

(APR.-EARLY JUNE)

Spring rain can dampen trails, and late winter-early spring storms can play havoc with backcountry roads. Zion Canyon is pleasant in the early spring. Bryce Canyon, at elevations ranging 6,600-9,100 feet (2,012-2,774 m), can be snowy well into the spring, but it is pleasant during the summer when other areas of Southern Utah bake.

Temperatures

Day: 54-73F (12-23C)

Night: 29-43F (-2-6C)

(LATE JULY-EARLY SEPT.)

Thunderstorms are fairly common in summer and bring the threat of flash flooding, especially in slot canyons. By July and August, its quite warm in Zion, and July is the warmest month in Bryce Canyon.

Temperatures

Day: 80-100F (27-38C)

Night: 57-68F (14-20C)

(SEPT.-OCT.)

September and October are lovely times to visit Zion, with moderate temperatures during the day and cool nights. Be sure to pack layers, because temperatures can easily vary by 30F during the course of the day. Late October is a good time to view fall colors in Zion Canyon. Since Bryce is at a considerably higher elevation, October visitors should pack warm clothing and not be shocked to see snow.

Day: 57-78F (14-26C)

Night: 27-49F (-3-9C)

(NOV.-MAR.)

A few highways in the Zion-Bryce area close for the winter, most notably the roads around Cedar Breaks National Monument. However, winter can be a great time to visit the high country around Bryce, where cross-country skiers take to the park roads. Note that winter snows can close the southern reaches of Bryce Canyons scenic route from time to time.
