Zion is massive sandstone cliffs, narrow slot canyons, and trails that make you feel incredibly small in the best possible way. The scale of the canyon walls is honestly hard to process until you're standing right at the base looking up. We love the variety - from easy riverside walks to terrifying clifftop trails. There's something for every skill level but even the easy trails have jaw-dropping scenery.
