Zion National Park, known for its 229 miles of massive canyon walls, brilliant colors, eclectic plant and animal life, unique landscapes and narrow passageways; Zion is truly something magnificent to experience. From desert sands to lush gardens and natural aqueducts, its diverse geology has provided a rare combination of natural environments welcoming to many forms of life. There are several ways to explore this
Utah National Park; biking, horseback riding, pleasant strolls from the bottom of the canyon while gazing upward; but perhaps the most famous and adventurous is hiking
Zion National Park through an area called the "
Narrows."
There you will find deep gorges in the pink and red sandstone, carved by the
Virginia River. Go camping at
Zion National Park for a couple of nights; you'll experience a little bit of why civilizations like the Anasazi made this a sanctuary for their people for hundreds of years.
