6Zion National Park, Utah
Zion National Park is a desert oasis of towering sandstone cliffs, narrow slot canyons, and lush river valleys. Located in southern Utah, Zion is known for its striking red and pink rock formations, which contrast beautifully with the greenery of the Virgin River that runs through the park. One of the most popular hikes in Zion is Angels Landing, a challenging trek that rewards hikers with panoramic views of the canyon from a narrow ridge. Another must-see is The Narrows, where visitors can hike through the Virgin River between the sheer walls of a slot canyon that rise hundreds of feet above. Zion’s unique landscapes and stunning vistas make it one of the most beautiful and accessible parks in the Southwest.
