Looking for an Rv park in the area of national parks in Utah. Wanted to know if anyone has been and has advice for a park that is located near all the parks.
Thanks

I used to backpack in Zion Nat'l Park a lot. All in the high county. But I have not yet been in that area in an RV, but probably soon will. Utah has a lot to see and many RV parks.Looking for an Rv park in the area of national parks in Utah. Wanted to know if anyone has been and has advice for a park that is located near all the parks.

I hiked up the West Rim Trail from Zion Canyon all the way to Lava Point. The hike from Zion Canyon to Telephone Canyon is probably the most continuous uphill hike I have even done.Go to Zion and stay at Watchman campground in the park. Most beautiful campground in the country. Angels Landing is one of the best hikes in the country.
While the Narrows is probably the most famous hike in Zion, it's one I have never done.During my 62th birthday week I hiked Angels Landing four times and the Narrows on every other day for 7 days of incredible hiking.
The last time I was in Utah, the speed limit on I-15 was 85 mph when far from towns. And the road had rubber from damaged tires piled up mile after mile. Even many of the 18 wheelers go 85 MPH, which I assume is well above their tire ratings.80 MPH ONLY on I80 north and south thru the center of the state.. The state max on most roads is 65 or as posted..>>>Dan
One time while visiting Zion a shuttle bus driver told me that last month he got to witness someone falling from the Angels Landing hike. I asked him if the guy screamed and he told me "Yes, all the way down."Whie the Narrows is probably the most famous hike in Zion, it's one I have never done.
I used to backpack a lot in the Zion high county, mostly above 7,000' elevation. I have been perhaps just about everywhere in the high country. My favorite hike is to Beartrap Canyon. Shady and scenic, good summer hike.
Zion is one of the most likely USA parks to be killed in. The Narrows has claimed many lives. Add the falls from Angel's Landing and other places.
43 people killed in Zion Nat'l Park in the last ten years.

There is nothing that is conveniently located central to all the National Parks in Utah, really. The closest to meeting that might be Torrey, near the Capital Reef area. several nice RV Parks are around there, and that is 2-4 hours driving to most of the parks in Utah.Looking for an Rv park in the area of national parks in Utah.
