Zion Canyon National Park has grown dramatically in popularity over the past ten years. The popularity of most southwestern national parks has grown due to marketing campaigns put forth by the national parks department, but Zion has shown significantly more growth than the rest. It has gotten to the point of some officials feeling the need to figure out new methods of decreasing traffic and congestion at the park, as there have been growing issues with parking and trash hauling as tourism has grown. That said, many people ae wondering why exactly that Zion has grown so much more popular than other parks in the same region that ae equally as beautiful and has just as many amenities. The answer probably lies in Zion’s proximity to Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is the perfect place to begin a tour of Zion Canyon national park if you are not from the area. Those from other parts of the country or the world are going to need to fly into a major city to use as a starting point for their national parks tour, and Las Vegas is perfect in the way that it is a tourist attraction on it’s own and therefore has good prices on flights coming into and out of the city. It also has an enormous amount of hotel rooms and restaurants that will fit any budget, so obviously it is going to appropriately serve as your starting point if you are planning on simply flying in and then moving to the next phase of your trip. Because of the proximity to many of the parks in California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona, there is a booming tour business that takes visitors from the city to these areas for exploration. Bindlestiff Tours is one of the premier tour companies that provides these products.
Zion is the closest national park to Las Vegas, being only about 2.5 hours drive from downtown. Naturally, this closeness of the park to the most obvious starting point for tours of these kinds makes it the natural choice of visit for those with only a day or two to spend. This increases the popularity of the park with those who were planning a visit, as well as with those who simply wanted to visit a national park in the southwest but didn’t have a preference. When these tourists come to Las Vegas with limited time on their hands, Zion becomes the obvious choice to them.
