Zion was amazing. We took Hwy 9 through the park. There is a park fee, so we bought a year pass to US parks and more than recouped the cost at Zion and Bryce. Hwy 9 gave some fantastic views. There were sharp turns, cliffs at the edge of the road and a tunnel through the mountain with man-made "windows" for ventilation and viewing from the car. We also took the road to the Temple of Sinawava. This has great views also and is a must. We also took the road out of Virgin to the north. It takes you past various houses and farms before entering the park. This is a great drive also. We could not get all the way through because the road was closed at the higher elevation due to heavy snow accumulations. Zion is excellent and should not be missed.
