Are you planning a trip to Zion National Park in Utah and wondering when the ideal time to visit is? Or perhaps you're curious about starting your adventure from Las Vegas?

Rebecca (BEC) Wanner recently took an unforgettable trip to Zion National Park, flying in and out of Las Vegas. She visited during the second weekend of October, a prime time to experience the park’s stunning landscapes.

Why October is the Best Time to Visit Zion National Park

October marks the beginning of the busy season at Zion. During this time, you’ll enjoy warm days and cooler evenings—perfect conditions for exploring the park. Daytime highs can reach 90°F, while nighttime temperatures drop to a comfortable 45°F.

What to Do in Zion National Park in October

These ideal temperatures allow for a variety of activities. You can start your morning with challenging hikes like Angels Landing, tackle The Narrows during the warmest part of the day, and finish with an evening hike to Canyon Overlook to catch breathtaking sunset views.

Why Las Vegas is the Perfect Hub for Your Southwestern US Adventure

Las Vegas isn’t just about casinos and shows—it’s a prime gateway to explore the American Southwest. Here’s why it’s the perfect hub for your next adventure:

1. Proximity to Major National Parks
   Las Vegas is just 2.5 hours from Zion National Park, with other parks like the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon also within a few hours’ drive.
2. Affordable Flights and Rentals
   With frequent and budget-friendly flights, plus a wide range of rental car options, it’s easy to start your trip in Las Vegas and explore the region on your terms.
3. Budget-Friendly Accommodations
   Hotels in Las Vegas are often more affordable than those near national parks, with options for every budget and style.
4. Blend of Nature and City Life
   After a day of hiking, enjoy Las Vegas' world-class dining, entertainment, and relaxation options, balancing outdoor adventure with city comforts.
5. Perfect for Multi-Park Itineraries
   From Las Vegas, you can easily visit multiple national parks and landmarks, making it ideal for a longer, multi-day trip.

With its ideal proximity, affordable travel options, and access to stunning national parks like Zion, Las Vegas serves as the perfect starting point for an unforgettable Southwestern adventure.
