Activity Overview

Zion National Park is one of the most popular nature attractions in Utah. Its most famous feature is Zion Canyon, a gorgeous 15-mile canyon that was created by the Virgin River. Visitors to this scenic National Park can enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities, including bird watching, easy hiking, cycling, backpacking, camping, rock climbing, and boating down the Virgin River.

There are also various ranger-led programs that visitors can participate in, including shuttle tours, nature center youth programs, and ranger walks.

Things to Do

  • Go on the unique hike through The Narrows, the narrowest part of Zion Canyon! You'll have to get your feet wet, so summer is the best time to do this hike.
  • Pick up a bird checklist from the visitor center and see how many bird species you can find!
  • Enjoy the park's scenic vistas by going on a family hike along one of the many wilderness trails.
  • Take part in one of the many ranger-led programs on offer, including informative talks and walks that focus on topics such as geology, wildlife, and history.
