"In winter, I found Zion National Park stunning and peaceful, with fewer crowds and rare access to scenic drives by personal vehicle. Winter visitors can hike quieter trails, stargaze under dark skies, and enjoy top-notch dining and lodging in nearby Springdale. It's worth visiting Zion in winter to experience this quieter, more intimate side of the park." - Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion Stephanie Vermillion is a travel journalist and photographer covering culture and adventure for Travel + Leisure Outside, and more.
