en route to ZION NATIONAL PARK ~ UTAH

Taken from Rt 9 Highway in Virgin Utah looking toward Zion National Park.

Zion National Park
One place among the collection of National Parks and National Monuments shines above all the others. Utah's Zion National Park portrays the type of beauty that stops us in our tracks, gaping in awe. Nature's extreme forces and the violence of Mother Nature have created perfection in the heart of Utah's Color Country. Years of raging storms pitting ice, water and snow against rock have produced wondrous creations protected by the National Park Service and kept pristine for all the world to enjoy.

Zion National Park in Utah ... is Spectacular!
Zion is often said to be the most beautiful place in America. "Spectacular" is uttered time and time again as eyes raise to view the vast monoliths of the best of Utah's National Parks. Zion National Park unveils its eight layers of sandstone, displaying what has taken two-hundred-million years to carve and mold. This spectacular corner of Utah is a masterpiece of towering cliffs, deep red canyons, mesas, buttes and massive monoliths. Zion's fame is due to more than beauty, it can also boast on its geology, hiking, backpacking and some of the best scenic drives anywhere.

The Park is located in the Southwestern United States, near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles long and up to half a mile deep, cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River.

Utah's First National Park
Follow the paths where ancient native people and pioneers walked. Gaze up at massive sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red that soar into a brilliant blue sky. Challenge your courage in a narrow slot canyon. Zion’s unique array of plants and animals will enchant you as you absorb the rich history of the past and enjoy the excitement of present day adventures.
