With its immense red and white sandstone cliffs that reach out of the forested river bed to the brilliant blue of the sky, Zion Utah is a Southwest USA wonder.
Zion’s towering sandstone monoliths, slot canyons, rock formations and hanging gardens attracts outdoor adventures and intrepid travelers from all over the globe.
It looks like the rock is weeping and at the right time of year the greenery will bring out a hanging garden – one of the cool things to see in Zion National Park!
The trail is rocky most of the way but is super cool as it passes through a couple of caves and you have a good chance of seeing Bighorn Sheep – one of the famous Zion National Park wildlife!
Only a few short steps off the shuttle bus and you’ll be at a lovely viewpoint for the Court of the Patriarchs – that is the three massive sandstone peaks named Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
This is a great road to take if you are continuing your Utah trip to Bryce Canyon National Park – which we highly recommend as it’s one of the best places to visit in Utah!
