The main section of the park is north of Springdale Utah and has a bus service to get around, rent some water shoes, in Springdale and hike up to the Subway. The Grand Canyon is just south of Las Vegas 100miles or so, also a not to miss.
Bryce NP, and Cedar Breaks National Monument, another 50-100miles past Zion. Go out another 100mile circle and you get to Page, Arizona, with the Antelope Canyons, Horseshoe Curve in the Colorado River. A drive/ride from Zion to Page really gets you into the American Southwest, and numerous time zones, different for Nevada, Utah, Arizona and the Navaho Nation.
Go south from Las Vegas and you are heading for Los Angeles and southern California.
Remember to have a lot of water with you, it is very hot there, 100 degrees F is normal for the summer, often hotter. especially if you are traveling exposed on the Harleys.
Enjoy,
Tom
