  • We drove to Zion National park from Bryce Canyon and boy what a treat that ride was! We followed the Scenic Byway 12 and entered Zion from the East, following the Mount Carmel Highway. This road deserves at least 2 mins of video time as the whole ride was nothing but spectacular.
    We had 2.5 days in Zion and despite a heatwave, we maximized the explorations by doing both The Narrows day hike and Angels Landing climb. We woke up very early for both of the hikes to beat the sun and the crowds. And the crowds are something this national park definitely has. It is popular. That’s probably why I have mixed feelings about it - I absolutely loved the landscape and both of the hikes, but hated the crowds, especially in the afternoon.
    This adventure is part of our three-week road trip through the West Coast of the USA. Curious about the whole trip? Check out the guide I wrote on my blog: intothehike.co...

      @@simonaintothehike YW :) well, the hiking season here in the north is at least a month away i think. The snowmobile-trails are open until the 1st of may, and often skiing is good throughout may (in the mountains that is).

    OMG the heights from Angels landing! Gave me anxiety watching it. Glad you enjoyed it. The Narrows-What month was your trip? We might try the 5:30 am as well to avoid large crowds. Is the drive from Zion to Bryce Canyon have cliff drops? Scared of heights lol..still debating if we should even do Bryce since we'll have 3 days in Zion.

      Haha yeah, Angels Landing is pretty steep 😅 We went there in September. What I recall is that the road between Zion and Bryce is very hilly, but cliff drops are not really common there (especially compared to other national parks).

    Beautiful country. Any chance of better vision? 360p is very blurry these days.

      it should be possible to pick 4k, processing was probably still in progress when you watched it 😉

      Click the gear wheel icon in the lower right area of the video screen and it opens up an options menu. At the bottom of the menu click where it says "Quality" and you will be able to select a higher video quality.
