Zion National Park, the oldest and most visited national park in Utah, exhibits some of the most spectacular scenery on earth. Deep sandstone canyons, striking rock towers and high mesas and plateaus characterize this magnificent landscape. 

Zion’s outstanding hiking trails range in difficulty from easy to very strenuous.  The trails provide opportunities to visit quiet secluded nooks and reach dizzying heights with breathtaking views.  Popular trails include Emerald Pools, Weeping Rock, Angels Landing, Observation Point, Canyon Overlook, Taylor Creek and The Narrows.

Hikers should be prepared for the heat of summer or cold of winter and should always obtain trail and weather information before setting out. Trip planning information is available at the park visitor centers in Zion Canyon and at Kolob Canyon.

The Zion Human History Museum in Zion Canyon offers colorful, informa-tive exhibits as well as a wonderful park orientation program shown regularly in the auditorium. Park Rangers provide scheduled programs and activities during the busy season.  The Zion Lodge is open year-round for lodging, meals and gifts. Park fees are charged at all entrances, and a special fee is re-quired for oversized vehicles to pass through the Zion/Mt. Carmel Tunnel.

From April through October, access to the popular trails and scenic points in Upper Zion Canyon is available by free shuttle bus from the main highway through the park. Other park roads are open to private vehicles, which can also travel along the scenic Zion Canyon drive into upper Zion Canyon at times of the year when the shuttle buses are not running.

Plan to join us in 2009 for the 100-Year anniversary of Zion National Park. This will be an experience you will never forget .
