aBOUT ZION NATIONAL PARK

Nestled in the heart of Utah, Zion National Park is where towering sandstone cliffs meet the serenity of lush canyons. From the views at Angels Landing to the pools under waterfalls, visitors are drawn to Zion’s natural beauty. The park’s history includes the Southern Paiute people, who lived on the land for generations. In the early 20th century, conservation efforts led to Zion’s establishment as Utah’s first national park in 1919.

Whether you’re walking through The Narrows, observing wildlife like mule deer and peregrine falcons, or exploring the rock formations shaped over time, Zion invites visitors to connect with nature and discover its landscapes.
