Zion National Park
Canyon Overlook in Zion National Park, accessible from the East Entrance in Springdale, Utah, on May 7, 2026. Zion, Utah's first national park, offers hiking, camping, backpacking, and climbing, making it a popular summer vacation spot for families and adventurers. Located 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)
