Zion National Park protects a unique environment where you encounter imposing rock formations and deep gorges engraved and shaped by the force of the waters of the Virgin River and its tributaries. The erosive action of the water has exposed the ancient geological history of this region, which can be read in the rock walls of the canyons. The variety of natural environments also guarantees an enormous variety of flora and fauna, including numerous species at risk of extinction, which are protected and safeguarded in the park.
