Zion National Park
Zion National Park in Springdale, Utah, on May 7, 2026. Utah's first national park, Zion offers hiking, camping, backpacking, climbing, and more, making it a popular summer vacation spot for families and adventurers. Situated in the southwestern corner of Utah near the Nevada and Arizona borders, Zion National Park is a convenient stop for those visiting Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, or Grand Canyon National Park. The Virgin River cuts through the sandstone, widening and reshaping the canyons that define Zion. (Photo by Thomas O'Neill/NurPhoto)
