Arriving in Zion National Park for our second long visit, my husband Larry and I and our friend Deb couldn’t take our eyes off the massive sandstone cliffs that soared into a brilliant blue sky. Shades of pink, red, cream, and tan gleamed in the sunlight as we began a day of hiking on several easily accessed trails.

| 15-mile long Zion Canyon is the most prominent feature, so look up to see the most amazing formations. |
This
followed our previous day of hiking The Narrows, a spectacular trek in the
Virgin River through deep chasms. After the excitement and challenge of that
water hike, we were ready to admire the beauty of Zion from dry land. There are trails for every skill level, including accessible trails.
That’s
the beauty of Zion—there’s something for everyone in this national park.
What follows is a selection of photos that showcase a few of the trails in this magnificent national park.
