The Experience
Before You Go
Start early to avoid crowds
Departing early from Las Vegas helps you beat the heat and enjoy the parks with fewer visitors, especially in summer months.
Wear sturdy hiking shoes
Trails in Zion and Bryce Canyon include rocky, uneven terrain; good footwear is essential to stay comfortable and safe.
Bring layered clothing
Temperatures vary widely between the desert floor and canyon rims; layers allow you to adapt throughout the day.
Stay hydrated
Carry water and drink frequently as desert air and hiking can quickly dehydrate you, even in cooler seasons.
