About
Sandstone canyon country in southern Utah, home to Angels Landing, The Narrows, and a network of permit-free alternatives.
Zion National Park's main canyon is carved by the Virgin River through Navajo sandstone, with trails ranging from the paved Riverside Walk to the chain-assisted final pitch of Angels Landing — the park's single permit-controlled trail.
