GiftWorksPlus National Park Series: Zion National Park

Located in southwestern Utah, Zion National Park is a truly unique national park that is worth adding to your travel list. Covering 147,000 acres, Zion National Park features plateaus, canyons, waterfalls, cliffs, and has activities for families and adventure-seekers alike.   For those more adventure-bound, it’s worth checking out Angels Landing and the Narrows, some of the best hikes in the park. These two hikes frequently make top ten lists for best hikes across all national parks. Zion National Park also offers canyoneering and rock climbing for daredevils as well. In fact, the park’s 2,000-foot sandstone cliffs are world-renowned for their incredible climbs.   For families or those who want to take in the sights in a more low-key way, there are plenty of easier hikes and trails that let you explore the park. Visitors can also take their cars on the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive to take in more of the park. And for the outdoorsy visitors, camping at Watchman Campground or South Campground lets visitors fully immerse themselves in the wonders of the park.   Zion National Park preserves 229 square miles of red rock landscape and is home to the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway and Tunnel, a 1.1 mile-long tunnel that cuts through the sandstone cliffs of the park with windows that showcase stunning views of the Zion Canyon. Completed in 1930, the highway was built to make the park more accessible to visitors. Zion also has one of the largest freestanding arches in the world. Located in the Kolob Canyons, Kolob Arch is one of the world’s largest arches at over 287 feet long.   If you’re planning a trip to Zion, or any other national park, make sure to check out the national park picture frames from GiftWorksPlus.
