World's Best National Parks: Zion National Park

Best National Parks in the World Map

With nearly a month of summer left there's still plenty of time for cyclists to take to the open road. Our recommendation? Zion National Park.

The Narrows attract canyoneers from around the world, and opportunities for hiking are endless. But with miles of trails designated just for bikers, Utah's oldest park has also become known as the state's most biker-friendly one, too. Its most popular path, the Pa'rus Trail, offers scenic views of Zion's cutters, the lower Zion Canyon and several of the highest mountains. For those who'd rather not venture out on their own, Zion Cycles will show you the way.

Sure, you can ride a burro through all of mother nature's splendor, but this way is faster. And a whole lot more fun.
