Towering red sandstone canyons and desert wilderness at the convergence of three major North American ecosystems

Zion National Park

Zion National Park is a United States national park located in southwestern Utah near the town of Springdale. The park sits at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, creating a unique geographic setting where three major North American ecosystems converge. This intersection of biogeographical provinces produces remarkable ecological diversity, with the park supporting four distinct life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. The park encompasses 229 square miles of mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches, all carved from spectacular red and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone.
