The Zion National Park is the first in Utah to receive the qualification as a National Park United States.
There are 5 national parks in Utah that are known as "The Mighty Five", and one of them is Zion National Park. It is one of the most spectacular that I have been able to visit on the west coast of the United States and I have been fortunate to do so on two occasions.

It is a canyon with high walls of deep red rock, which lose their color as they rise towards the sky, until they reach the nuclear white of the sedimentary layer of Carmel Formation that crowns the highest peaks.
At the bottom of Zion Canyon, the Virgin River meanders, surrounded by lush vegetation that adorns this lavish landscape with huge poplars, willows, pines and hanging gardens in the corners where moisture drips down the wall.

The climate in Zion National Park is highly variable. During the summer, temperatures can reach 35 degrees Celsius. But if you plan to do a walk, the normal thing will be to get up early or finish at sunset, and at those times the temperatures drop a lot.
Zion National Park has mainly two areas to visit, the Kolob canyon and the Zion canyon. But 99.9% of travelers only visit Zion canyon, the most popular and the most attractive. So when I talk about what to do in Zion National Park, I mean Zion Canyon.

Named in reference to Mount Zion in Jerusalem by the first Mormons displaced from the Atlantic coast, who came looking for a place to settle. For this reason, Its biblical name is not a coincidence, there are also peaks with the name of the Hebrew patriarchs and the river that runs through the bottom of the Zion canyon baptized with the name of Virgin, was not random.
