First time to Zion National Park
We are planning to visit the Southwest National Parks Loop (Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, and the Grand Canyon) from May 17 to May 23.
This will be our first time visiting Zion National Park. Our flight arrives in Las Vegas around noon, so we expect to reach Zion at about 6:00 PM. The next day, we plan to hike Angels Landing in the morning and then explore more of the park afterward.
We are planning to drive to Bryce Canyon National Park in the late afternoon, since we have a hotel booked there for the night of May 18.
I’m wondering if one day in Zion (actually less than a full day) is enough. After reading many reviews, I’m starting to regret that we are only staying one night.
I also have questions about what kind of clothing to bring. Will it still be cold in the morning in late May?
Here is what I’m planning to pack:
.Short-sleeve hiking T-shirt
.Long-sleeve hiking shirt
.Light, breathable jacket
.Hiking shorts
.Hiking pants (Do I need warmer, cold-weather hiking pants?)
.Windproof, breathable jacket
.Sun hat (Do I also need a warmer hat?), sunglasses, hiking boots, and hiking socks
Thank you in advance for any advice!
