Zion National Park is one of the gems of the National Park system and one of Utah's most beloved tourist destinations. The park is located in the far southwestern corner of Utah, where the Colorado Plateau meets the mountains and valleys of the Great Basin. The closest town is Springdale. The sculptured cliffs of Zion Canyon provide visitors with landscapes of unmatched beauty and diversity. One of my favorite places for spending the cooler days of autumn in the canyon of the desert. It boast one of the most amazing fall color displays in the Southwest.
