Everything in the park is so well preserved and organized. I was lucky to get a “ticket” to hike Angels Landing. A Ranger was checking the “tickets” and make sure that the hike is not overcrowded and gave us tips for the hike. The fact that this amazing individual was there on top of the mountain and helped the visitors is just amazing and shows how much the rangers care about the parks and its visitors…
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.
