Zion National Park

Zion National Park Introduction

Zion3_NP.JPG

Zion National Park is characterized by high plateaus, a maze of narrow, deep sandstone canyons and striking rock towers and mesas. Geologic processes have played an important role in shaping Zion. The arid climate and sparse vegetation allow the exposure of large expanses of bare rock that have created scenic canyons with sandstone cliffs ranging in color from cream, to pink, to red.
