Zion est l'un des cinq parcs nationaux de l'Utah et l'un des plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres du pays. Il est id\u00e9alement situ\u00e9 \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 de nombreux a\u00e9roports et destinations majeures telles que Las Vegas, Salt Lake City ou le Grand Canyon. Il est devenu un PN en 1919 afin de pr\u00e9server son incroyable g\u00e9ologie et paysage. Comme pour tous les parcs nationaux, vous avez un droit d'entr\u00e9e, celui-ci est de 35 $ par v\u00e9hicule, mais si vous allez dans au moins deux ou trois parcs nationaux en un an, vous devriez envisager d'acheter le pass \"America the Beautiful\" qui est de 80 $ par an il vous pernet d'acc\u00e9der \u00e0 tous les parcs et monuments nationaux. Je pense que c'est assez g\u00e9nial et bon march\u00e9!<\/p>\n<p>Voici quelques informations si vous pr\u00e9voyez de visiter Zion. Dans ce parc, vous pouvez faire de la randonn\u00e9e, de l'escalade, et bien plus encore\u00a0! Un attrait majeur est son canyoning de renomm\u00e9e mondiale, qui vous permet de descendre en rappel \u00e0 travers les canyons et les voies navigables. Personnellement, j'appr\u00e9cie les vues et les randonn\u00e9es quand j'y vais. Je suis all\u00e9e trois fois; en mai, octobre et janvier. Les mois d'\u00e9t\u00e9 (juin, juillet et ao\u00fbt) peuvent \u00eatre tr\u00e8s fr\u00e9quent\u00e9s par les touristes et certains sentiers peuvent \u00eatre encombr\u00e9s, ce qui entra\u00eene des risques suppl\u00e9mentaires lors de certaines randonn\u00e9es. Entre f\u00e9vrier et novembre, vous ne pouvez pas conduire votre propre v\u00e9hicule personnel le long de la route principale du parc. Vous vous garez pr\u00e8s du centre d'accueil (parfois plus loin !) et empruntez une navette gratuite. Cela facilite les d\u00e9placements dans le parc, mais vous devez bien planifier votre nourriture, votre eau et votre temps. Pendant les mois d'hiver, la route est ouverte aux v\u00e9hicules.<\/p>\n<p>Voici, deux de mes randonn\u00e9es pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9es :<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>1 &#8211; The Narrow<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2025\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2025\" style=\"width: 283px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2025\" src=\"https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_114-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_114-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_114-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_114-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_114-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_114-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_114-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_114-1140x1710.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_114.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2025\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The Narrow<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Narrows est une c\u00e9l\u00e8bre randonn\u00e9e \u00e0 Zion. C'est un sentier qui suit la rivi\u00e8re sur environ 1 mile puis continue en amont \u00e0 travers la rivi\u00e8re Virgin ! La plupart des gens font cette randonn\u00e9e \u00e0 la fin du printemps et en \u00e9t\u00e9, car l'eau est plus chaude. Le canyoning est aussi un moyen de voir les d\u00e9troits, mais si vous \u00eates d\u00e9butant, vous aurez besoin d'un guide. Le Narrows peut fermer s'il pleut car des crues soudaines peuvent se produire en un instant et elles sont extr\u00eamement dangereuses pour quiconque se trouve dans le canyon.<\/p>\n<p>J'ai fait cette randonn\u00e9e en hiver et j'ai ador\u00e9. Nous avons d\u00fb louer un forfait combinaison \u00e9tanche car l'eau \u00e9tait glaciale (environ 34F\/3C), nous les avons lou\u00e9s \u00e0 <a href=\"https:\/\/zionoutfitter.com\/\">Zion Outfitters.<\/a> Ils nous ont fourni les combinaisons \u00e9tanches, les gants, les chaussures et une carte.<\/p>\n<p>Une fois notre \u00e9quipement lou\u00e9, nous avons pris le bus jusqu'au terminus : 9 ! Nous avons march\u00e9 un mile (1.6km) puis sommes arriv\u00e9s \u00e0 la rivi\u00e8re. Nous nous sommes habill\u00e9s et avons commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 marcher dans l'eau. Au d\u00e9but, l'eau p\u00e9n\u00e8tre dans nos chaussures, ce qui est glacial, mais parce que vous portez des chaussettes sp\u00e9ciales, cela chauffe tr\u00e8s vite ! Maintenant commence la plus belle partie de la randonn\u00e9e ! C'est vraiment amusant de marcher dans l'eau et de voir les beaux murs de chaque c\u00f4t\u00e9. La hauteur de l'eau fluctue au cours de la randonn\u00e9e, elle peut \u00eatre aussi basse que vos pieds mais aussi haute que sur votre cou ! Parce que j'y suis all\u00e9e en hiver, nous avons pu voir de la glace fra\u00eeche se former sur les murs ainsi que sur les rochers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2024\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2024\" style=\"width: 333px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2024\" src=\"https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/camillesematiskiphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200103-ZionNP20_174.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2024\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The Narrow<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Vous pouvez parcourir le Narrows pendant 1 heure, 4 heures ou plus car cette randonn\u00e9e fait 16 miles\/26 km !

Zion is one of five national parks in Utah and one of the most famous in the country. It is conveniently close to many airports and major destinations as Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, or the Grand Canyon.\u00a0 It became a NP in 1919 in order to preserve its incredible geology and landscape. As with all national parks, you have an entry fee, this one is $35 per vehicle but if you go to at least two or three national parks in a year then you should consider buying the &#8220;America the Beautiful&#8221; pass which is $80 per year but gets you into all national parks and monuments. I think it is pretty awesome and cheap considering! Here is some information if you are planning on visiting Zion. In this park, you can hike, climb, backpack, and plenty more! A major draw is its world-renowned canyoneering experience, which allows you to rappel down through canyons and waterways.\u00a0 I personally enjoy the views and hikes when I go. I&#8217;ve been to the park three times; in May, October, and January. The summer months (June, July, and August) can get very busy with tourists and some trails can get congested leading to some extra risks on certain hikes. Between Feb-Nov you cannot actually drive your own personal vehicle along the main road in the park. You park near the visitor center (sometimes further away!) and take a free shuttle. Makes traveling in the park easier but you need to plan well with your food, water and times. During the winter months, the road is opened up to vehicles. Here are, two of my favorite hikes: &nbsp; 1 &#8211; The Narrow The Narrows is a famous hike in Zion. It is a trail that follows the river for about 1 mile and then continues upstream through the Virgin River! Most people are doing this hike in late spring and summer as the water is warmer. Canyoneering is also a way to see the narrows, but if you are a beginner you will need a guide. The Narrows may close if it rains because flash floods can happen in an instant and these are extremely dangerous to anyone in the canyon. I did this hike in winter time and I loved it. We had to rent a drysuit package because the water was freezing (around 34F\/3C), we rented them at Zion Outfitters. They provided us the drysuits, gloves, shoes, and a map. Once we had our gear, we took the bus to the last stop: 9! We hiked a mile and then arrived at the river. We suited up and started walking in the water. At first, the water fills into our shoes, which is freezing, but because you are wearing special socks it gets warm really fast! Now begins the most beautiful part of the hike! It is really fun to walk in the water and see the beautiful walls on each side. The water height fluctuates during the hike, it can be as low as your feet but as high as over your neck! Because I went there in the wintertime we were able to see some cool ice formation on the walls as well as on the rocks. You can hike the Narrows for 1 hour, 4 hours, or more because this hike is 16 miles\/26 km! However, make sure to plan your hike because if you are going only for a day remember that you will have to hike back! Because it is such a beautiful place it is easy to lose track of time! If you decide to visit the Narrow in the winter you will almost have it all to yourself, which is awesome. During the summer there will be a lot more people, however, after the first mile or two, the trail will be less crowded. I think The Narrows was by far the most unique hike I have done. Going there in the winter made it more magical and I really felt like I was on an adventure! &nbsp; 2 &#8211; Angel&#8217;s Landing Angel Landing is one of the most famous hikes in the park! I&#8217;ve done it twice and both times were before permits were required. Since 2019 a permit is now mandatory: more info This hike is &#8220;only&#8221; 5.4 miles\/8.7 km long round trip, which doesn&#8217;t seem like that much&#8230; however the elevation gain is 1500 feet\/460m. It normally takes around 4 h to do it from the bottom. I remember the first time I did this hike, it was in October 2017. At first, the hike starts along a small river and a slight incline, but then comes the switchbacks &#8211; which I personally don&#8217;t enjoy!! It gets steep but you get glimpses of an amazing view of the Zion Valley and this is motivation to keep going. After the switchbacks, you go behind the mountain in order to continue up. You eventually arrive at a flat area where some people prefer to stop because the last part of the hike can be scary, especially if you are scared of heights! The Spine (on the right) is the most critical part of the hike which can be deadly if you&#8217;re not careful. It is a narrow single-lane trail with a lot of exposure, and you have to go up it to get to the top. Chains are installed along the spine and I highly recommend holding on. This is the part that now requires a permit. Because of so many people on this trail at the same time, traffic was actually a big issue! This section is very narrow and with only one chain people were getting stuck in line in the middle of it. The first time I did it I was really impressed by how dangerous it can be. I am not scared of heights and I was never in a bad situation but I was really surprised it was allowed unguided. After I made it back down I learned that 17 people died on this hike from accidents, I was glad to learn that after the hike. None of this information is to dissuade you from doing it, it is to help you be prepared and always focus on safety. Plus now that the permits are in order there will be fewer people on the trail! I returned to Zion in 2019 and hiked angels landing a second time with my parents. I was able to enjoy the view once again! &nbsp; Fun Facts: California Condors can be seen in the park. They are the largest birds in North America and an endangered species. Even though it may look a bit like a desert, Utah and Zion NP can get really cold (way below 0C\/38 F).

This park has one of the largest freestanding arches in the world, Kolob Arch. &nbsp; Leave your questions in the comments, and I will answer them. &nbsp; Links Plan to visit Katmai NP in Alaska?
