How many days should I spend visiting the grand canyon and zion?
ramsey asked:
I have seven days to split between the grand canyon and zion? How do you recommend splitting the days? More info: we’ll be there late april 2008 and plan on hiking with plenty of photography.

a trip down into the canyon takes a day 8hr or more but you can drive or walk around and take pics in a few hours… id spend more time at zion and hike some trails even thro both are great places the grand canyon has less to offer for choices if you have not made reservations you can read about both and decide but id go with zion
I agree with the 1st answer. A couple days around Grand Canyon, but Zion is actually my favorite place that I went when I was hiking around the country. Spend more time in Zion for sure!
