One of the most visited and beautiful national parks in the United States, Zion National Park is a marvelous nature preserve that is distinguished by its steep, red, canyon cliffs, in southwest Utah. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive cuts through the main section of the park, leading to heavily-forested trails that run along the Virgin River.
The Emerald Pools hiking trails are some of the most scenic within the park, leading visitors past magnificent waterfalls and shimmering pools.
Along the trails, visitors will enjoy breathtaking views of the Red Arch Mountain and Cliffs, Great White Throne, and Lady Mountain. For visitors who would like to extend their stay in this natural paradise, Zion National Park offers three idyllic campgrounds.
