Zions National Park - Driving Time from St.
George Utah: 1 Hour.
Colorful sandstone canyons, hot rocky deserts, and cool forested
plateaus are all part of Zion National Park. Zion Canyon is the
largest and most visited canyon in the park. Here, the Virgin river
has carved a spectacular forge into the red and white sandstone. The
floor of the canyon is covered with trees, grasses and the river.
The canyon walls loom high above; in most places they are 2,000 to
3,000 feet high. East of the Zion-Mt. Carmel tunnel, you can see
fascinating shapes and patterns at the top of the sandstone layers.
The southern part of the park is a lower, desert area. Here,
colorful mesas are bordered by rocky canyons and washes. The
northern sections of the park are from volcanoes and petrified wood
from ancient forests. The northern sections of the park are higher
plateaus. The cool, green forests overlook broad panoramas of rugged
canyon country.
