Zion National Park in Utah’s southwestern corner is the state’s oldest and most visited national park. Every year 2.5 million visitors flock to its 229 square miles to admire its awe-inspiring scenery, which consists of enormous rock monoliths, forested plateaus, and narrow canyons, including the Zion Narrows, a favorite hike for adventurous backpackers. Zion also boasts trails appropriate for those seeking a more leisurely stroll, including Weeping Rock, Canyon Overlook, Emerald Pools and Riverside Walk, otherwise known as the Gateway to the Narrows.
If you are planning a scenic vacation to the region, there is more to see than Zion National Park. In Utah’s southern half, you will also find Bryce Canyon National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. These four National Park Service-administered sites boast spectacular scenery of their own, including colorful rock pinnacles, natural arches, sandstone domes, slot canyons, and historic structures.
