Zion Canyon Red Cliffs

Zion Canyon Red Cliffs – It started out as Mukuntuweap National Monument in 1909, but was granted national park status by the U.S. Congress in 1919.

The highlight of Zion National Park is an expansive canyon. Averaging 2,000 feet deep, 

As we were leaving Arizona last April we crossed into Utah for a week as we were making our way to Nevada. Not realizing we were so close to Zion national park until we found a campground just south of this national treasure and looked at the map and noticed it was just a short drive to get there.

So we headed out early one morning and entered the park at the east end. Traffic was minimal and the scenery is just gorgeous.

We stopped at a few places along the drive through the park where you can get out and do some hiking and see some of the beautiful rock formations and caves.

These two photos below are taken with the drone from above this beautiful area showing you the top of Zion National Park. Drones are not allowed in the park, but we were on the outside of the park when we took this photo.

It is like a glimpse of the past, can you imagine being the first people to come across this land, what a sight it is.
