SCENES IN ZIDN For vastness, height,
depth, glory of color
and strangeness of
geologic formation, Zion National Park
stands unique! You drive your car
through its spacious portals, park it in a
forest of giant trees, and then proceed
afoot through a mile of winding trail
along the Mukuntuweap River. Above
you, a stone's throw apart, rise the sheer
walls of the mighty gorge to a height of
nearly 3,000 feet. And every step of the
way, changing vestas of grandeur!
Equally thrilling is the panorama of Zion
as viewed through the windows of a
mile-long tunnel on the world famed
Mt. Carmel Highway. You can get a
memorable glimpse of Zion National
Park in a visit of hours or linger for a
month of scenic exploration in its 14mile-long
canyon and mysterious terrain.
