Zion National Park
Zion National Park is awe inspiring. Massive cliff walls tower
majestically a half mile above the green canyon floor. A river tumbles
easily beneath cottonwoods and wooded trails wind about the canyon and
up its walls to small pools and springs. Whether you hike its miles of
trails or simply drive its easy drives you cannot help but be moved by
Zion's beauty.
The park is in two parts, the most visited being Zion proper, the
second being Kolob Canyon. The only connection between the two parts
is the Narrows, a long trail through a steep canyon. Kolob Canyon’s
most distinct feature is the Kolob arch, second largest freestanding
arch in the world. Within Zion proper are such landmarks as the Court
of the Patriarchs and Angel’s Landing, proud stands of rock
immortalized by generations of awe-inspired visitors in photographs
and film.
Zion is located in the southwest corner of Utah east of I-15. It is
roughly 300 miles south of Salt Lake City and 160 miles northeast of
Las Vegas. Its ease of access and remarkable beauty have made Zion
Utah's most popular National Park with nearly 3 million annual
visitors.
