Zion (Utah)
Zion is also one of the National Parks within driving distance of L.A. Follow the trails that early settlers and Native Americans took as you marvel at the enormous cream, pink, and red sandstone cliffs that rise into the clear blue sky. Wilderness can be encountered in a small slot canyon. Zion's distinctive collection of flora and animals will amaze you as you take in the past's rich history and the present's exhilarating experiences.
American national park Zion is situated close to the town of Springdale in southwest Utah. The park, which is situated at the meeting point of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert areas, has a distinctive topography and a range of living zones that support an uncommon diversity of plants and animals.
The objectives of Zion National Park are to safeguard the park's wilderness character, its wild and scenic river values, to protect evidence of human history, to facilitate scientific research, to provide for public enjoyment and education, and to preserve the dramatic geology, including Zion Canyon and a labyrinth of deep and brilliantly colored Navajo sandstone canyons formed by extraordinary processes of erosion at the margin of the Colorado Plateau.
