Twelve desert waterfalls. Angels Landing’s knife-edge tiptoe along a serrated mountain ridge. Rocks that be sad. Emerald Pools and waterlogged slogs through Narrow red-colored-rock Subways. It’s equally beautiful and improbable.

Zion is perfect for walkers

From three miles up, the Zion Park map appears like a naughty geometry student’s desk after protractor unit. The crosshatch of canyons scratched within this step from the Grand Staircase creates 100 trails in a myriad of contexts, whatsoever amounts of difficulty. With a, “hiking” means walking along pavement-grade pathways into pretty character. To other people, a claustrophobic slot canyon to some chain-moored ascent of the vertiginous pinnacle is really a “hike.” Zion is perfect for walkers.

Zion superlatives

Zion is both earliest and also the earliest park in Utah. It had been the state’s first government designated park (1919), also it showcases the earliest geologic layers this side from the Grand Canyon (~150m years of age). It is also Utah’s favorite park, drawing 3+ million site visitors yearly. (Book a visit from November to April to dodge the warmth and also the crowds.) And, finally, Zion is the greatest Utah park, inside a five-way tie with the others.

Zion means “the heavenly city” and also the park’s Kolob Canyons are named following a place referred to in Mormon scripture to be near God’s throne. You will find no places of worship in Zion Park, but there’s plenty to inspire reverence.
