The hosts of the 'Exploring the National Parks' podcast, Ash and John, recount a recent three-day trip to Zion National Park during the peak of summer. They note the intense heat, with temperatures reaching 105 degrees Fahrenheit daily, and reflect on the challenges and planning considerations for visiting such a popular destination in extreme weather.
“So we went to Zion National Park.”
“We did visit Zion in the middle of the summer, in the middle of the crowds, in the middle of the heat, all the things.”
“And also as 105 degrees every day.”
“So, anyway, we were in Zion for, it was three days, um, middle of the summer, middle of the heat, all the things.”
