Zion
Zion National Park is located in southwestern Utah and is a park full of amazing cliffs and canyons. The sandstone in the park has been washed and eroded by rivers for 13 million years, and tall and steep cliffs and canyons stand proudly. The Virgin River meanders through it to carve out the Zion Canyon, and the broadleaf trees along the riverbank appear vibrant and green. The huge reddish-brown mountain wall confronts the green woods. A thin waterfall hangs from the mountain wall and flows into the Virgin River. The trail is right between the river and the mountain wall, and a new scene changes at every turn.
