Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks
Connect with the mystery and mysticism of southern Utah in this fantastic and wild landscape of sand, stone and sky.
Perhaps nowhere else in the Southwest can compete with southern Utah when it comes to the sheer number of geological works of art. Soaring pinnacles and arches, dizzyingly deep canyons and rainbow-colored, alien-looking rocks are all par for the course. The bones of the earth and the powerful natural processes that shape them are laid bare. Take the time to observe the different-colored layers stacked one upon the other: Kayenta, Navajo, Temple Cap, Carmel. These are snapshots of the planets distant past, and an amazing opportunity to take in the work of 240 million years in a single glance.
Theres no better way to get a feel for this red-rock wonderland than by having some fun. Serious fun. Whatever your sport, theres a good chance that Utah sets a pretty high standard. Hikes lead to majestic freestanding arches, secret oases, desert labyrinths and exposed traverses across narrow fins. Canyoneers rappel into the earths wrinkles to explore dark, mystical passageways filled with adventure. Moabs slick-rock trails set the standard for mountain biking decades ago, while desert spires and mighty big walls are the envy of rock climbers around the world.
Though southern Utahs majestic parklands are hardly drive-by attractions, scenic roads abound. In fact, theyre an essential part of your journey here in canyon country, whether youre driving, cycling, riding the park shuttles in Zion and Bryce or negotiating a teeth-rattling, nerve-wracking 4WD road in the rugged backcountry. And if there are moments when you feel as if youve seen that view before in a Hollywood film, its because you probably have. Up that road less traveled, adventure awaits in one of Americas last great wildernesses.
You could spend weeks immersed in the national parks and monuments. But then youd be missing out on some of the most memorable places, from arty, alternative-minded towns like Moab to Native American tribal lands and sites where prehistoric denizens made their mark. Detours are always worthwhile here, whether for an earthy plate of organic, farm-fresh food or to capture another top-of-the-world vista. Local state parks (Snow Canyon, Goblin Valley) and wilderness areas (Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs) deserve consideration, as do off-the-grid wild areas found in Grand StaircaseEscalante and Bears Ears National Monuments.
By Greg Benchwick, Writer
The desert of southern Utah has a magic to it that ignites the imagination and the soul in a way no other place on Earth can. When I come to Utahs national parks, I skip, I jump, I explore with the same fire, creativity and energy I had as a boy. Its my spiritual home, and Im certain that somehow in the cosmic scheme of things, I was born from this vast, stark and beautiful land of towering sandstone cliffs, azure skies, mesas, prickly-sharp plants and soft red sand.
