Zion National Park Weather
The weather in Zion National Park is diverse and never the same across multiple seasons. In the summer, the temperatures get very hot which often means 100 degree weather. Spring and fall bring more moderate temperatures which often ranges from the 60’s to the 90’s. There are some cool and rainy days during this time as well. In the winter, Zion National Park is cold and wet with highs often in the 50’s. The nights often slip below freezing making it a pretty uncomfortable stay if you’re out at night.
The best time to visit Zion National Park for the weather is during some spring and fall months. These include April, May, September and October. However, if you’re looking to avoid the crowds and don’t mind the cold, January is a great time to visit. If you prefer to visit in the summer, be sure to do all your hiking and nature activities in the mornings when it is cooler.

There are three campsites in Zion National park, perfect for any type of traveler. Prefer tent camping? There’s a space for you. Prefer RV camping? There’s a space for you too.

Popular Zion National Park Activities
Hiking: There are many hiking trails throughout the park. Some are short, others much longer. These trails are not loops so to come back to your starting point you will need to turn around and go back the way you came. For your safety and others in your group, assess your physical ability before committing to a Zion National Park hike.
Camping: Whether you like RV or tent camping, Zion has a site for you. Sleep out under the stars at one of the three camping locations, enjoy a bonfire or sleep in a bed in your RV.
Canyoneering: This activity is for truly adventurous and experienced travelers. Canyoneering involves hiking, swimming, sliding and other techniques to navigate the canyons and natural landscapes.
Rock climbing: Another activity not for beginners, the rock walls found in the park are difficult to climb. However, they’re perfect for adrenaline seekers. If you’re a beginner and still want this experience, there are many companies that offer lessons just outside the park.
Outdoor and Covid Safety
When it comes to outdoor safety within the national park, it is your responsibility. Accurately judge your abilities and those of your group. Keep your eye on the weather and the surrounding landscapes to ensure your safety within the park. Avoid steep cliffs, pack plenty of water and take time to sit in the shade to avoid heat exhaustion. If you’re visiting during the colder months, be sure to pack many warm layers to prevent hypothermia.
