Summary: My Visit to Bryce Canyon

After visiting Bryce Canon I can see why it is among one of the most Instagrammed national parks in the country. I only visited Zion and Bryce Canon on my trip through the central west. Arches National Park remains on my list of Utah parks left to see. I hope to visit that park in the next year.

Visiting Zion National Park

This past summer I decided to explore several National Parks in the central west. My goal this year was to travel more locally around my area. While Utah is not necessarily close to California, it's still a closer than other destinations. Part of my central west trip included visiting Zion National Park in Utah. Below is a quick video of my visit to Zion National Park.

Tips for Visiting Zion National Park

I traveled to Zion during the summer when the weather was the warmest in the Park. During my visit, it was extremely hot. I've read that the weather in Zion can vary widely greatly depending on what time of the year you visit. My recommendation is to bring:

• A Hat and Sunglasses
• Insulated Water Bottle
• Dress for the Weather

Conclusion:

I spent half a day exploring Zion Park. The park itself is big so I wasn't to able to see all the trails. However, I do plan on visiting again during the cooler months to explore some areas that I did not get to see.

Three Great Neighborhoods to Explore in Vancouver

https://shows.pippa.io/moderrn/three-great-neighborhoods-to-explore-in-vancouverI started traveling in 2011. One of my first places to visit was Vancouver in British Columbia. If you're ever planning on making a visit, here are three great neighborhoods to explore in Vancouver. Vancouver is located on the west coast of the country and is sort of the San Francisco of Canada.

Granville Island

I've been to Vancouver twice and one of the first spots I usually go to is Granville Island. If you're new to Vancouver you reach Granville by hopping on one of the mini ferry boats along the channel. Probably one of the highlights of Granville is its public market with its diverse shops and eateries. In addition to the public market, Granville has amazing views to take in the city of Vancouver.

Seawall/Coal Harbour

The Sealwall/Coal Harbour area is a popular attraction among both locals and tourists. It's also a great venue for cyclist and joggers. Also, Seawall's location includes access to some of Vancouver's major ferries.

Stanley Park

Stanley Park is located conveniently by the Seawall and includes several attractions. Most noteworthy attractions in the urban park are the aquarium, beaches, and suspension bridges. One of the things I highly recommend doing is exploring Stanley Park by renting a bicycle.

Summary: Three Great Neighborhoods to Explore in Vancouver

In conclusion, there are many great neighborhoods to explore on your visit to Vancouver. Among other Vancouver neighborhoods which you should include on your list to visit is Yaletown, Gas Town, and the West End. I found the neighborhoods to be fairly close together allowing you to explore the city of Vancouver with ease.
