Zion or Bryce?
In late May/early June we will be driving from the North Rim of the Grand
Canyon over to Las Vegas. We have one day and wanted to make the most of it. Should we spend any time we have in Bryce Canyon or Zion? If so ...which one? We were headed towards Zion. We don't have time to add and extra day. We will already have driving from Vegas to the South Rim...over to the North Rim and seen Monument Valley etc. thanks for any help... toodles HeatherM |

Personally I prefer Zion NP but its very subjective. Keith |

Bryce gets my vote...very unique place....or do both...if you are short on
time, drop the trip to the North Rim. "Heather Morrison" wrote in message ... In late May/early June we will be driving from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon over to Las Vegas.

You can "do" both of them in one (busy) day since they're so close together. It will be a Chevy Chase "National Lampoon's Vacation" moment though. Drive to Bryce first and view the overlooks near Inspiration, Sunrise and Sunset points, then hustle to Zion and take the shuttle bus ride through the valley. Bill Strongly second the suggestions to drop the North Rim to catch Bryce at Sunrise and Sunset. Scenery you will never forget! |

Zion or Bryce?
I prefer Bryce but Zion requires less driving so I would opt for
Zion since it allows for more time in the park. |

Should we spend any time we have in Bryce Canyon or Zion? If you like hiking, go to Zion and hike the Narrows canyon. You won't regret it, but the hike will take some time and energy. If you're more of the couch potato type, go to Bryce. The Bryce views from the parking lot are better than the Zion parking lot views. There are also lots of scenic very short hikes in Bryce, while the best hikes in Zion will take more time. |

I prefere much more Zion but this is a park that requires time to be explored and to get the best from it. If you only have a day, I would choose Bryce. In one day you can enjoy sunset and sunrise (both amazing), browse all the view points and take a hike (I suggets the Navajo Loop or the Queens Garde/Navajo Loop combination). Have fun Giulio |

Zion or Bryce?
Well thanks everyone for your insite. We are still looking at our route and
time frame to see what we can manage. There was lots of good information gathered here. Our journey starts in both Copenhagen, Denmark and Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. My Danish partner and I are meeting in San Diego for a conference at the end of May. We are vactioning after the conference and are planning a route that will have us driving up to Kings Canyon, Sequoia Nat'l Parks then over to Las Vegas (taking in Blue Man Group) then off to the South Rim. From the south rim we home to go to Monument Valley then up to the North Rim...and from the North Rim make our way back to Las Vegas via Zion ...or/and Bryce. From Las Vegas to San Diego where we catch flights back to Canada. We always jam a lot of things on the agenda...but take our trips with a grain of salt so to speak. We head out...and amble through the day just making sure we make our destinations at a reasonable time. So having a list of options for rerouting or stopping off points is always great. We never get to see everything on our lists...but we have a lot of fun trying..and sometimes we just go to one place..love it ..and stay there. It's all on a whim so to speak. So thanks for all your help! toodles HeatherM "Heather Morrison" wrote in message ... In late May/early June we will be driving from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon over to Las Vegas.

They are so different. Julie Melbourne, Australia |
