[ThePlacesWhereWeGo]

The most epic hike we've ever done. What a wonderful experience for your family!

[goingtheextramile]

Looks breathtaking! Thanks for all the tips to consider before planning a trip

[californiathroughmylens]

Looks like a great trip. Thanks for sharing these tips and I am sure they will be helpful if we take the kids to Zion one of these days!

[venturefull]

So cool! We camped out in Zion several years ago before kids. Since then, we’ve been thinking about a good age to take our kids out there.

[enochlai]

Great guide! We loved our time in Zion as well

[ProjectFaceOff]

Excellent video folks. The pace, footage, and narration were perfect. Keep it up!

[bobalanadventures]

Enjoyed your video! I love visiting Zion’s. It’s one of my favorite places. But it is getting very crowded.

[NYGOGUIDE]

Wait a minute! It's so amazing place and unique experience crossing the river and the best camping. WOW SO COOL!! Thank you for detail information all of this great adventure and I love your thumbnail ❤ as always great video!😊🙂💯👍

[PuniChanFam]

what an experience. didnt realize visiting Zion needed so much planning ahead. Narrows looked awesome, hard work backpacking with the kids through the water 💪 nice setup with the portable hot water. missing the shuttle back would be one of my worst fears. those 20 minutes you got with the waterfall by yourselves was precious. thanks for sharing ✨

[Pixics]

Really nice tips, I haven't been to zion in 9 years. We tried to do that river hike but didn't go that far because of our relatives.

[rvlifediy]

Great coverage. You definitely need to try it late summer (end of August, 1st week of September). Water level is lower, and the temp is good to wade through with kids with just shorts. Need to stay at Watchman with electric so you have AC though. I remember when that park was not very busy back in the days, but those days are long gone.

Great video - thank you for sharing! May be headed there this fall with our 2.5yo.
Question: How did you get to drive to the other part of Zion since the South (Springdale) entrance roads are shuttle only?

[billng]

Definitely on the bucket list. This video was a great heads up for both kids and adult preparation! Thank you and have fun! Do you have any tips on rentals for camper-vans like yours?

[leisch]

What is the brand of the kids hiking backpack/ chair

[StevenCress]

How would you feel about going to Zion with a 5 year old who is about right at the weight limit for those carriers and would probably have to hike on her own?

[averageguy]

If you had to choose between Zion and Snow Canyon for a family of four, which between the two?

[mosalinas]

Great video, but it sadly discouraged me from taking my family
I have 4 kids
15 years
4 year old twins
2 year old

I feel like it would be too much work to enjoy the park

[anaisetco]

Great video, how long does it take to walk riverside walk zion to the turnaround point and back? Thank you

[NEPatsfanclub]

I’m sorry if there is a story but personally, I would just close my truth. Best friend I’ve ever had but I have to story tell you about this kid. I had to learn more about his best friend. He’s a Burlington and there’s also this I tell you how we grew up here I am I had to talk to you later because I have to do something I am my best friend friend just died and we don’t want to go letters to make people I know I don’t want to get ugly. It’s Christmas time in doing it. I’m not trying to call this person at all.
