The wonders at Zion National Park range from the majestic canyon cliffs, to the tiny flowering blooms of the Utah penstemon. The east fork of the Virgin River is responsible for the towering, two to three thousand foot canyon walls. This rather small river has proven to make large scale changes to Southwestern Utah's topography.
A premiere trip in the park may be the hike up the Virgin River through the canyon area known as The Narrows. Here, visitors are surrounded by massive Navajo sandstone walls. A well prepared hiker can enjoy the sanctuary of Zion and a wide variety of the park's natural wonders.
