I haven't, no.  Zion is beautiful but it's so crowded when I've been and I really don't like it.  My preference at National Parks is getting away from the main attractions and finding the beauty in the rest of the land.  Like the valley in Yosemite, which is a cluster, but then get outside of the valley and it's more open and quiet on the mountain trails.  Or Sequoia, where once you get away from the big trees there are hardly any people on many of the trails, and some amazing Sierra views.  Zion feels super claustrophobic to me with so much concentration of people in that main valley, which is more of a canyon.  I haven't been to Zion in several years but it's not really even on my list to go back to at this point. 

That said, if you've never gone I highly recommend it because it is very beautiful!
