Zion National Park

Zion National Park Photo Feature

Zion National Park has been carved by water and wind. Rivers and flooding rains have etched nearly 5,000 feet into the plateaus that still remain part of the upper reaches of the park. Early Native Americans were wary of Zion National Park and even afraid to remain in the canyon after dark. They believed that Gods inhabited the canyon and that it was a sacred place. It wasn't until 1908 that the federal government completed a survey of Zion National Park.

It is located in SW Utah, 43 miles west of St. George, Zion National Park is Utah’s oldest and most visited national park, annually hosting an average of 2.5 million visitors. Three of the canyon’s most popular trails, providing visitors with breathtaking views of these formations and others, are Emerald Pools, Weeping Rock, and Riverside Walk (also known as “Gateway to the Narrows”). Each year thousands of people flock to Zion to hike the Narrows of the Virgin River, which are so narrow in some places that a hiker can nearly touch both sides of the canyon wall with outstretched hands. See below some stunning images of this wonder place.
