I wanted to share the layouts that I did for the time we spent in Zion National Park in May of last year. Zion is located in Southern Utah and we had a very long drive to get from South Padre Island, Texas to the park. We did spend one day in Flagstaff, AZ along our route. We spent the week of May 4 through May 10 in the park and found it fantastic. We didn't get to do a couple of hikes that we wanted to do so there will definitely be a return trip there.
