Zion is very beautiful. I don't think it has the same grandeur as the
Grand Canyon. If you like hiking to angel's nest or hiking in the
narrows Zion might be a great place for you. Also the North rim of the
Grand Canyon is much closer. I have done a series of podcasts in 2005
on Bryce, Zion, Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon. You might check out
