Zion National Park

Zion National Park features myriad deep sandstone canyons, which extend over 30 miles from end to end and covers 229 square miles. The canyons of Zion National Park earned their names from early Mormon settlers (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and many of the formations in the park have names from the Bible. The park was established in 1909 as Mukuntuweap National Monument and expanded in 1919 to Zion National Park. The park is composed mostly of sandstone stained by the oxidizing of iron in the rock. Zion National Park with its many canyons contains 75 species of mammals, 271 birds, 32 reptiles and amphibians and eight fish in the streams and rivers, which have carved these canyons.
