Learn More about Zion National Park

Zion National Park is an American national park in the southwestern state of Utah, USA.

Covering an area of 593 km2 (of Utah's nearly 220,000 km2), the park is famous for its deep canyons carved by the Virgin River and its tributaries into coloured rocks tens of millions of years old. It consists of low desert areas, riparian areas at the bottom of the canyons and forested areas on the mountain tops. The park's fauna includes 78 species of mammals, 291 species of birds, 44 species of reptiles and amphibians and eight species of fish. Over 900 species of plants are found in the park, ranging from cacti in the desert areas to coniferous forests in the mountainous areas.

At an altitude of 2,000 m, between Las Vegas and Bryce Canyon, overwhelming by its dimensions, one can admire this 135 million year old gash, more than 600 m deep, with tan and white hues. Contrary to the Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon, one arrives in the valley by the bottom (while coming from Las Vegas) and one climbs then to admire it from the top. On the other hand, at the bottom of the valley, one can relax at the edge of the Virgin River where you will find the office of the Rangers, the small museum and the buildings of the lodge, restaurant and hotel.
