Zion National Park Visitors Guide
Zion National Park is Utah’s oldest national park. It encompasses 147,551 acres and is known for canyons and massive rock formations. The Virgin River runs throughout amid rainbow colored walls. As you traverse this magnificent park, be it by horseback, on foot, by water, by  vehicle or via the Zion Shuttle System, you will be astounded at the majesty of nature. The park is especially known for its rock formations that are sure to remind you chapels, cathedrals and even thrones. The formations range in height with some of them exceeding 8,500 feet.
The Park’s east side offers many other adventures. You can enjoy ATV trails, guided tours of the slot canyons, play a round of “mile high” golf or even see a herd of buffalo as you travel the back country roads. It should be
noted, however, that on days where the Shuttle is in use,
personal vehicular traffic is prohibited.
Nearby is the Zion Human History Museum where you can learn about the Park, attend Park Ranger led programs and activities, and learn what events are scheduled for the day.
