Another option for having a chill trip to Zion may involve selecting less-popular sites and hikes. This isn’t ideal for every traveler; some of us couldn’t THINK of visiting Zion without tackling Angel’s Landing.
If you plan in advance, booking one of the hotels near Zion National Park may be your best bet. One hotel to check out is the Cable Mountain Lodge, located super close to the Zion NP Visitor’s Center.
We camped for two nights at South Campground inside Zion National Park. The fact that we scored a site was nothing short of miraculous. South Campground sites become available to book 2 weeks in advance of the travel date.
