Download this audio‑guided driving tour to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park, and follow scenic roads while listening to audio commentary along the way.
The drive to Zion National Park features a variety of natural landmarks, from twisting canyons carved by the Virgin River to shaded grottos with ferns, waterfalls and emerald pools. Once in the park, you can choose from several hiking trails, including family‑friendly riverside walks and classic slot canyon routes. The tour also includes the ghost town of Grafton, a former Mormon settlement with a small group of wooden buildings and a well‑preserved cemetery.
After exploring the Zion area, continue towards Bryce Canyon National Park via the Zion–Mt Carmel Highway (Route 9 connector). This scenic road is known for its switchbacks and open views back towards Zion's cliffs and the Great Arch. The audio commentary continues throughout the approximately 1.5‑hour drive between the two parks.
In Bryce Canyon National Park, you'll encounter a remarkable concentration of rock formations. As you look across the amphitheatre, shapes and figures begin to emerge naturally from the stone. Each stop along the route offers a different perspective, whether visited at sunrise, sunset or after dark, when the low‑light skies reveal an impressive number of stars.
