The roads of Zion National Park introduce
the visitor to a fantastic world of spectacular cliffs
and multi-colored canyons. The Zion Canyon Scenic Drive,
for example, presents a panorama of vividly colored cliff
towers along the road to the floor of Zion Canyon. This
narrow, steep canyon is the centerpiece of the park. It
awed early visitors like Frederick Vining Fisher, who
named the "Great White Throne", "Angels
Landing" and many other monoliths. In the 1860ies
Mormon settlers came to this area and enthusiastically
proclaimed, that they had found Zion, the promised land.
Brigham Young, however, disagreed and declared, that the
place was awfully nice, but not Zion. The name "not
Zion" stuck for years untill a new wave of explorers
dropped the "not", giving the park its present
name. Today the canyon continues to spark a sense of
wonder and disbelief in those who come and stand beneath
its 2,000- to 3,000-foot high walls. With hiking trails
nonpareil and challenging and mysterious slot canyons,
set against a tableau of sublime sandstone, visiting Zion
is a spiritual event.
