Discover Zion National Park with our self-guided tour, allowing you to explore Utah's most dramatic canyon landscape at your own pace. Wade through The Narrows where the Virgin River carves between 1000 foot walls glowing amber and crimson in the desert light. Grip the chain-assisted ridge of Angels Landing for panoramic views across the canyon. Walk the Riverside Walk beneath towering cliffs dripping with hanging gardens of fern and columbine, hike to the Emerald Pools where waterfalls cascade over sandstone ledges into glowing green pools, drive the dramatic switchbacks of the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway through its mile-long tunnel carved in the 1920s, and watch the Watchman peak glow deep crimson at sunset from the valley. Discover the hidden finger canyons of Kolob, a separate section of the park where some of Zion's tallest sandstone walls rise in solitude far from the main valley, and explore Checkerboard Mesa's extraordinary geological patterns on the park's quieter east side.

What To Expect
Court of the Patriarchs
Three massive sandstone peaks named Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — towering above the valley in formation like ancient sentinels. The viewpoint is a short walk from the shuttle stop, offering one of the first dramatic perspectives of Zion Canyon's layered red and cream Navajo Sandstone walls rising vertically from the green valley floor.
Zion National Park
The only lodging inside Zion Canyon — a historic lodge surrounded by towering canyon walls with emerald lawns and cottonwood trees lining the Virgin River. The lodge serves as a trailhead for the Emerald Pools trails and the Grotto, with views of the Great White Throne and Red Arch Mountain framing the valley.
