Zion National
Park
Zion, interpreted
by Mormon pioneers as a place of refuge or
sanctuary.
Protected
within the park's 229 square miles is a dramatic landscape
of sculptured canyons and soaring cliffs. Zion is located at
the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin and Mojave
Desert provinces. This unique geography and the variety of
life zones within the park make Zion significant as a place
of unusual plant and animal diversity.
