点评:It’s Central Park with mountains surrounding it. An urban park plopped down in a canyon. Yawn. It’s more “tourist attraction” than National park.
Over sanitized and over tamed. Yes if you are coming from Vegas maybe it’s OK. You haven’t seen real nature in a long time and this is nature light. Plenty of paving and queues to stand in. Buses and cars and e-bikes galore. Crowds. Lines. Very Disney-esque.
The most scenic part is only accessible by the shuttle or bike/e-bike or walking miles in. Shuttles stop running at 4pm for entry. And you have to catch that lady bus out by 7pm. So forget that sunset shot.
Over crowded even in off season. It’s insane. It’s the closest to Vegas so it gets the traffic like the touristy restaurant.
But compared to the other national parks and places like Monument Valley it’s sort of just a city park with some trails. Go to Bryce Canyon, White Sands, Everglades, Monument Valley, Yellowstone instead just for starters.
The average Zion visitor is dressed like they are visiting an urban park or a day at Disney, not a natural area. If that’s what you want, great. You ride the bus in, transfer and ride the bus to the “stops.”
Leave your photo gear at home and just take smart phone snaps. Didn’t see a single serious photographer. All the mountains look the same and just like the surrounding areas, so take one or two shots from the pull outs as cars whiz by.
翻译:这是中央公园,周围环绕着群山。一个坐落在峡谷中的城市公园。哈欠。它更像是“旅游景点”,而不是国家公园。
过度消毒和过度驯服。是的,如果你来自拉斯维加斯,也许还可以。你已经很久没有看到真正的自然风光了,而这里就是自然之光。有很多人行道和排队等候。公交车、汽车和电动自行车比比皆是。人群。排队。非常像迪士尼。
风景最美的部分只能通过班车、自行车/电动自行车或步行数英里才能到达。班车在下午 4 点停止运行。你必须在晚上 7 点之前赶上那辆女士巴士。所以忘掉那张日落照片吧。
即使在淡季也人满为患。太疯狂了。它是离拉斯维加斯最近的地方,所以它的交通就像旅游餐厅一样。
但与其他国家公园和纪念碑谷等地方相比,它只是一个有一些小径的城市公园。先去布莱斯峡谷、白沙国家公园、大沼泽地国家公园、纪念碑谷和黄石国家公园吧。
锡安国家公园的普通游客穿得就像在参观城市公园或迪士尼乐园,而不是在参观自然区。如果这就是你想要的,那太好了。你乘坐巴士进去,换乘,再乘坐巴士到“站点”。
把你的摄影器材留在家里,用智能手机拍照就行。没看到一个认真的摄影师。所有的山看起来都一样,就像周围的地区一样,所以当汽车呼啸而过时,从停车区拍一两张照片。
