Bryce or Zion National Parks?

[Deb from NC]

We stayed at both the Bryce & Zion Lodges. They are both fine-typical
national park lodges. Not fancy, but neat & clean and you can't beat the scenery! I thought they were nicer than anything on the south rim
of the Grand Canyon (except El Tovar, of course). I think the food was
fine...not great, not bad. But I'm pretty easy to please
Have fun, I'm glad you're going to both. I hope to go back some time
soon...

Dining Comments Appreciated

Deb,

I'm glad to read your comments and to hear that the Bryce and Zion Lodges are neat and clean. We thought the Kachina Lodge was fine, nothing fancy, but more than adequate. To hear that you think both of these are nicer than anything except the El Tovar at the South Rim makes me feel great. Your comments about dining at the lodges are also appreciated. The food we had in the lodge at the South Rim was more than adequate...not gourmet, of course...but we weren't expecting that, so I guess we'll make dinner reservations at both Bryce and Zion. I don't think you can beat staying inside the parks. I know that's how we felt at the GC.

Also, the bumbleberry pie sounds intriguing, so I'm sure we'll try some of that, too. Hope we have nice weather, although we are planning to dress warmly, since we expect it to be much cooler than Las Vegas.

The food at both lodges was very good. When staying at Bryce canyon lodge we loved the cabins. The are about the size of a hotel room but are sperate cabins with gas fireplaces and are closer to the rim than the main lodge.

How long a drive is it to Zion and Bryce from Vegas?

 

[KevJan]

It is about 2 1/2 hours to drive to Zion from Las Vegas. It is about 4 1/2 hours to drive to Bryce from Las Vegas. Of course, it depends on how fast you drive and how bad the traffic is. The quotes are assuming you drive the speed limit and the traffic is moving. It doesn't allow for stops for food or "potty breaks".
