Four Utah state parks in Greater Zion to add to your Zion National Park trip

The state parks near Zion — Gunlock, Sand Hollow, Quail Creek and Snow Canyon — represent four out of 46 Utah state parks. Sure, state parks in Utah often get overlooked because of the famous “Mighty 5” national parks (صهیون, برایس, دره, کاپیتول ریفو قوس) but Greater Zion state parks offer equally epic landscapes, terrain for world-renowned adventure, and opportunities for both casual and extreme explorers.

Each park provides its unique brand of outdoor recreation. Three of the parks tout crystal blue warm waters and relaxing sandy beaches where water lovers swim, ماهی, boat, kayak, paddleboard or snorkel. One is home to 16,000 acres of OHV riding. Another offers technical climbing routes and easy scenic drives. Find trail systems for horseback riding or دوچرخه سواری در کوهستان. Or, camp and hike year-round thanks to year-round mild temperatures.
