The Masterpieces
of Mother Nature
Zion National Park
Zion National Park is Utah’s first National Park, designated
as such in 1919. It is also the state’s most visited with nearly
three million people experiencing the park’s natural wonders.
Carved by the Virgin River over millions of years, Zion has
steep cliff faces and fascinating rock formations
created by the erosion of wind, water, and time.
Bryce Canyon National Park
Rimmed by pine and aspen forests, Utah’s Bryce Canyon
National Park is a marvelous viewing experience. The
park is a geological forest of colorful pinnacles, spires,
fins, arches, mazes and formations called hoodoos.
The incredible limestone formations range in color
from red to yellow to lavender.
Grand Canyon National Park
The Grand Canyon is one of the most impressive natural
wonders in America; your first glimpse is sure to be a
special memory. This incredible chasm is 277 miles long!
That’s about the same distance between Chicago and
St. Louis! The coloration of the Grand Canyon changes
constantly due to sunlight and clouds--ranging from
bright red to deep purple.
