Description
One of America's most famous national parks was first introduced through paintings and the words of Frederick S. Dellenbaugh. So remote and inaccessible, Zion Canyon wasn't a household word until the turn of the 20th century. Through his description and a headline, a Great Temple of Eternity, the majestic Zion Canyon was soon recognized as Utah's first national park.
When visitors enter Zion Canyon from the east, majestic sights along Mount Carmel Highway prepare park guests for what lies ahead. This remarkable highway was built as a way to connect visitors to the nearby Grand Canyon and Bryce national parks.
Many park-goers often wonder about the park's red or maroon colored roads. This signature red road is colored by a chip seal project using red cinders.
