There are 250 square miles of incredible land to explore in Zion National Park.
From flowing water snaking through canyons to magnificent sheer walls rising above them, Zion has been developing geologically for millions of years.
Enjoy the biological diversity of three climatic zones, from sub-alpine cool to desert warmth. This diverse terrain houses over 800 plant species,
271 birds, 75 mammals, and numerous rare fish. Hike into secret canyons with refreshing pools and towering multi-colored sandstone buttes,
and scale to glorious vistas with hundred-mile breathtaking views in all directions. ~ http://www.flanigans.com/zion-national-park/
Zion has striking beauty, but the Park can be crowded with tourists. I'm glad we went in late October, and on weekdays. Less people that way.
Amazing in every direction, it can take several days to explore.
We stayed in Springdale, at the Cliff Rose Lodge. The lodge was located at the entrance to the park land, and alongside the Virgin River.
I would happily recommend this hotel - clean,good customer service, great location, beautiful grounds, rose gardens, hummingbirds and lovely trees.
Breakfast was very good too.
