Zion National Park invites you to follow paths once traveled by ancient Native peoples and pioneers, surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs in cream, pink, and red against a brilliant blue sky. Over four days, we’ll hike the Kayenta Trail, visit the Upper Emerald Pools, and experience the Virgin River Narrows—wading through the river between soaring canyon walls. Expect unforgettable scenery, wildlife spotting, and plenty of photo-worthy moments.
