点评:Zion NP is another amazing park, however after visiting Bryce the day before, it left a weaker impression on us.
In our opinion, Bryce is much more interesting and spectacular, as well easier to navigate. Main difference is Bryce has broad elevated views stretching miles in distance with amazing rock hoodoos formations, while in Zion you're packed within the canyon with huge cliffs above you.
Have in mind Zion is bigger and requires more time to discover it. That's primary because you cannot drive it yourself, but park your car and visit by shuttle bus.
Parking lots are huge, yet still very crowded - we waited around half an hour just to enter the gates and then around the same to find a free spot. Calculate in your visit time to reach the shuttle bus, wait in line to get on it, ride it stopping on every stop, getting out, exploring, waiting again, etc....
Best two things in Zion are the Narrows hike and driving the Zion-Mt.Carmel road.
翻译:锡安国家公园是另一个令人惊叹的公园,但前一天游览了布莱斯峡谷之后,它给我们的印象就略逊一筹。
我们认为,布莱斯峡谷更加有趣壮观,也更容易游览。主要区别在于,布莱斯峡谷拥有开阔的高地视野,绵延数英里,遍布奇特的岩石柱群;而锡安则位于峡谷深处,头顶是巨大的悬崖峭壁。
请记住,锡安面积更大,需要更多时间才能探索。这主要是因为你不能自驾,只能停车后乘坐摆渡车游览。
停车场很大,但仍然非常拥挤——我们排队等候进入公园大门大约半小时,然后又花了差不多相同的时间才找到空位。所以,请将前往摆渡车站点、排队上车、乘坐摆渡车(每站都停)、下车游览、再次排队等时间都计入你的游览时间……
锡安最值得体验的两件事是锡安峡谷窄道徒步和锡安-卡梅尔山公路自驾游。
