| Zion National Park |

 Awe inspiring Zion National Park attracts over 3 million visitors a year with its massive plateaus and precipices descending at times 4,000 feet. Rock climbers and hiking enthusiasts come from around the world to experience the many zig-zagging trials which ascend to pinnacles, domes, arches and spires. Some of the canyon’s most notable formations are Angels Landing, Weeping Rock, Emerald Pools, and the 12.5 mile trek through the “Narrows.” The canyon is home to 75 species of mammals and 265 types of birds as well as reptiles and many kinds of fish in its waters. Imagine hiking with a wildlife biologist to see wild elk, or working on a service project in the Zion Narrows, or discovering and mapping an unrecorded archaeological site. The Zion Canyon Field Institute offers many opportunities for just such adventures. Springdale, Utah is located at the Southwest entrance to Zion National Park. It is home to many photo and art galleries showcasing the drama of the landscape of the park.
