Zion National Park What to Pack

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: *Water shoes. Essential. You'll be spending 17 miles in the water, you want protection. Some can do with just tennis shoes, but I recommend renting some heavy-duty boots before going.
*A hat. The sun overhead, however brief, can be brutal. Shade is also hard to come by.
*Waterproof socks. To go with your shoes.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: *Sunscreen and insect repellent. 'Nuff said.
*A first aid kit... you're really alone, never know what happens.

Photo Equipment: Definitely bring a camera. You'll want it for sure. Watch out for water damage... if you take a spill, there's nothing stopping the camera from taking a dunk as well.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: *Bring a space blanket for some shelter in case you get caught there without planning. Even in the summer, it can be really cold at night with the wind.
*Extra food.
*Water filter. In case you run out, want to be able to purify your own.

Miscellaneous: *Even though you're in a canyon, a topographic map is a handy thing. USGS 7.5 minute quad map 'Temple of Sinawava'
*A good, sturdy walking stick. With slick rocks and water everywhere, it saved my legs more than once.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: We went in June, and I still needed a light sweater for the cool mornings. Hiking shoes are a MUST! I love tennis shoes, and I didn't bring any of them. I bought us Merrell hiking shoes and 5-10 canyoneers for this trip. Love them both!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Tons of sunscreen
Band-Aids

Photo Equipment: Video camera, digital camera with lots of memory cards - you will be amazed at how many pictures you will take

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: You should dress in layers here, the weather can get a little chilly at night. Hiking shoes are a must! If you are going on the Narrows trail, you can even rent water/hiking shoes in Springdale.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: That desert sun is hot even in winter, don't forget your sunblock.

Photo Equipment: I found a split neutral density filter helpful.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Canyoneering gear is available for rent in Springdale

Miscellaneous: Always have water with you. Even if you don't hike, the warm weather can be dehydrating.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. Sandles simply won't cut it here. The trails may sound easy, but the paths are generally quite steep. I might also advise bringing an umbrella (preferably as little metal as possible) since the thunderstorms can sneak up on you in a hurry.

Photo Equipment: Certainly bring your camera, the views are awesome.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bring sunscreen especially if you are susceptible to burning. Bring plenty of drinking water, it can get hot out there.

Miscellaneous: Bring a snack for the end of the hike especially if your hiking with childeren and don't forget your park map so you can reorient yourslef if you get confused.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Snowstorms are rare, but possible. Cold days in November through April are the norm. If you're visiting during this time of year, be sure to layer up. Pack gloves, sweaters and hats. Fleece is a good option.

Photo Equipment: A must

We bought some plastic capes from Zion Lodge gift shop because it was a bit cold and drizzly. The were only about $4 and they really kept us warm and dry.
