I went to Zion National Park in March of 2022 for the first time.Angela Repke
I went to Zion National Park for the first time with my husband and seven and nine-year old kids.
My kids like to hike, but the most well-known trails, Angel's Landing and The Narrows, seemed risky.

My family's first trip to Zion National Park trip was a bucket list adventure, and I wanted to be sure we did all of the best hikes for families with kids.

On our last day, we attempted The Narrows. In hindsight, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with kids.
The four of us attempted The Narrows, but only two of us were able to complete it and I regret trying with young children.Angela Repke
