Utah's oldest and most popular national park, Zion joined the prestigious ranks of America's national parks more than 100 years ago in 1919. The park is divided into four main sections - Zion Canyon, Kolob Canyon, Kolob Terrace Road, and the East Entrance - and features a total of nearly 147,000 miles of spectacular natural terrain. These regions, paired with an extensive backcountry, make Zion National Park one of the most captivating protected lands in the Western United States.
Because Zion is set in the heart of Utah's Color Country, colorful vistas surround travelers from every angle. Witness impressive archways, deep canyons and wooded plateaus as you explore the park on guided tours and independent excursions. Highlights of any exploration include the West Temple and Zion Canyon; however, hidden allures, including hanging gardens, await at every turn. Whether traveling through the park on one of the scenic driving paths or hiking through on foot, the ever-changing landscape makes for fantastic photo opportunities and grand adventures.
