ZION NATIONAL PARK was established in 1919. The name "Zion" means "place of refuge." It was given to the canyon by Mormon pioneers who had traveled across the plains from the East in search of a place where they could thrive as a people of faith. Zion National Park protects 229 square miles of spectacular cliff-and-canyon landscape and wilderness. Among the amazing natural structures are stone arches and valley’s stone statues so precise it is hard to imagine they were carved by nature. The world's largest arch - Kolob Arch - with a span that measures 310 feet is found here. This arch of arches stretches across the landscape as an incredible view, no matter which way you are looking at it.
