Desert Pearl Inn

What the weather is like
The climate varies significantly between Bryce Canyon, Zion and Grand Canyon National Parks. Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon are at an elevation between 6500-7500 feet, which keeps the temperatures moderate throughout the summer months. Zion is at an altitude of 4000 feet and is generally much warmer during the summer months. In Zion, we have planned our walks for the morning and late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.
