I'm planing to travel from Grand Canyon to Zion NP. How long will it take to drive from Page to Zion NP?

Question

I'm planing to depart from Page(near Lake Powell) in early morning, staying in Zion NP for a while(maybe take a short hike), then driving back to Las Vegas(before 19:00). I'd like to know how long will each drive take. I've found the distance of the route from Yahoo map, but I got no idea how fast can those drives be.

Answer 1

WE stayed in Page, Az on our last driving trip (at the Mariott ... its really nice). We left Page at about 8:00AM and drove from there to the junction of rt-89 and RT-9 and then up to Bryce Canyon. We got to Bryce about 11:00AM We stayed in Bryce long enough to drive all the way through and stop at overlooks. WE had lunch there. Then we drove back down RT-89 and entered Zion in the early afternoon (about 2:30 PM) . We did some of the bus tour and left the park on the west side headed to I-15. WE got to Vegas about 7:30 or 8:00PM.

The RT-89 is one lane each way, but has a good grade and you can do 60+ real easy all of the time,,unless you get behind a bunch of trucks and/or campers., just watch for police. If you don't go to Bryce, you will have plenty of time to do Zion for 3 or more hours and still get to Vegas way before dark.

I lived in Las Vegas up until April. I worked for the Grand Canyon Tour Company. Call 1-800-222-6966. They will give you all the information you will want. If they don't know, they can give you a phone number to call with more information.
