Zion National Park is my park! I love it here. I got this amazing opportunity to work here this summer and I have loved every second of it. This is a picture in Kolob over by the Northgate peaks. I challenge you all to find your own parks. Edward Abbey couldn’t have said it any better “ Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.” #findyourpark
Sincerely,
Zion National Park
Free-flowing rivers cut through multi-hued sedimentary rock to form Zion's deep and spectacular canyons. Park trails lead visitors to dramatic rock formations, hanging gardens, scenic vistas, ancient rock art and natural arches. People have lived in Zion’s landscape for at least 8,000 years, and the park's prehistoric art and artifacts tell the stories of the area’s previous inhabitants. The park also provides habitat for a variety of wildlife and large mammals, hardy desert plants like cholla and juniper, and rare and threatened birds like the peregrine falcon, California condor and Mexican spotted owl.
