In June, expect temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s with extremely low humidity. Zion is higher in elevation and is considered the high mountain dessert, so the UV rays are much more intense. Sunscreen is a great idea for outdoor recreating through your summer months.
Mid-mornings and evenings are cooler and pleasant, making it a great time to hike or visit certain areas of the park.
Arrive in St. George, Utah and pick up a rental vehicle before making a short drive to Springdale, UT.

Sitting on the southern border of Zion, Springdale, population 529, is more than just a parking lot for the park. It rests in the shadow of the towering red, white and pink striped cliffs that define Southern Utah, essentially an incorporated annex of the park proper, giving you incredible views right from the main drag, aptly named Zion Park Blvd. It’s got plenty of entertainment for those not quite ready to renounce civilization altogether, and lots of outdoor retailers for those who are.
Weather permitting, we head to the end of the park to hike The Narrows.
Hike one of the most famous areas of the park with an experienced guide. Wade through the water, going as far as needed to enjoy the beauty and spectacle of Zion's towering canyon walls.
