We are planning a road trip and on a short time span to spend. So we were wondering if you had to pick betwen Bryce Canyon or Zion National Park, which one would you choose and why, + any activites you recomened at either place.|||Yep... both Zion and Bryce are great; you would not be disappointed with either. But, I personally prefer Zion because it has a wider range of experiences and scenery - rivers, waterfalls, narrows, soaring cliffs, slickrock, incredible views.

Bryce has the famous colored spires and rock fins - very cool to be sure, but that is pretty much it. If you are going there, then either the Peek-a-boo trail or (better yet) the Navajo trail will take you through the prime areas and formations.

At Zion, you can have a pleasant day just riding the free shuttle buses and stopping at the overlooks and then enjoying resting along the river or on the big grassy yard in front of the lodge. Or you could do easy 'stroll' day hikes to Emerald Pools or Weeping Rock. If you are up for more adventure, do the incredible hike to Angel's Landing (unless you are afraid of heights) or wade in the river up into the famous Zion 'Narrows' (unless it is too cold or the water too high).

There are also more eating and lodging options at Springdale near Zion (my top pick is 'Zion Pizza & Noodle Company' - Yum!).|||I have been to both many times.
Know question, I would always pick Zion over Bryce as my personal favorite.
Activities depend on what you like. There is much to pick from.
From just sitting and enjoying the awesome views to hiking to top of Angels Landing.
