Zion National Park is nature preserve and national park distinguished by the magnificent steep red cliffs of the Zion Canyon. Located in southwestern Utah near the city of Springdale, the 229-square-mile park surrounds the Zion Canyon, a 15-mile long and 2,640-foot deep chasm with steep reddish and tan-colored walls of Navajo Sandstone that have been eroded by the North Fork of the Virgin River. Due to its unique location at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and the Mojave Desert regions, the park is home to a diverse range of life zones, ranging from desert and coniferous forests to riparian and woodlands. The park can be explored by the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive which boasts beautiful views of the Virgin River and Emerald Pools, which have waterfalls and a hanging garden. Popular activities include fishing, boating, swimming, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, and camping.
