Zion National Park

Zion
 

Zion National Park is a part of the Southwest's "Grand Circle" of national parks, monuments, historical and recreational areas. This Grand Circle is located on the Colorado Plateau, so-named because it is a large uplifted area of land in the 4-corners of the Southwest through which the Colorado River flows. The Colorado Plateau contains one of the world's greatest concentrations of natural and cultural features, due primarily to its geology, revealed by the Colorado and other rivers.

Protected within Zion National Park's 229 square miles is a spectacular cliff-and-canyon landscape and wilderness full of the unexpected, including the world's largest arch, Kolob Arch, with a span that measures 310 feet. Wildlife such as Mule Deer, Golden Eagles and Mountain Lions also inhabit the Park.

Visitor Center

Located one mile from the south entrance to the park on Utah Route 9 at an elevation of 4,000 feet, it is open year round from 8 am to 5 pm. It offers a wide variety of information and services including many books and free brochures, topographic maps, and exhibits. Park rangers are also available to assist in planning your visit.
