Zion National Park 1 www.nps.gov/zion/
435 772-3256
Zion is an ancient Hebrew word meaning a place of refuge or sanctuary. Protected within the park’s 229 square miles is a dramatic landscape of sculptured canyons and soaring cliffs. Zion is located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert provinces. This unique geography and the variety of life zones within the park, make Zion significant as a place of unusual plant and animal diversity. It is 43 miles northeast of St. George. Take I-15 north to the Hurricane exit (Exit 16) and go east to Hurricane on S.R. 9 and follow the signs (See map).
