Zion National Park

Deep, narrow canyons, towering cliffs, streams, waterfalls, hanging wildflower gardens and majestic, forested mountains define Zion National Park. The scenery here is wonderfully diverse — perhaps there is more variation here than in any other area in the world. Within just a few miles the terrain changes from lowland desert to mountain meadow and lush forest, bisected by canyons like the Zion Narrows where a man can sometimes touch both walls at the same time.

Zion National Park is 30 miles in length and 15 miles across at its' widest point. Elevations within the park range from 4,000 feet to over 8,700 feet. Visitors to Zion National Park have easy access to the bottom of the main canyon or the upper areas of Zion Canyon via shuttle or their own vehicle.

Zion National Park offers great recreational opportunities for visitors who want to see spectacular scenery while auto touring, for casual hikers, for photographers, and for hardcore canyoneering enthusiasts hell-bent on adventure. Sightseeing and hiking opportunities are superb during all seasons of the year at Zion National Park.
