Zion National Park: The Gifts of the River

Looking to cool off this summer? Zion National Park offers river access on many of its trails, including the Riverside Walk trail at the end of the Zion Canyon shuttle. Other opportunities include river wading from the riverbanks along the Watchman Campground and watching fish in the creek below Weeping Rock. Check out the variety of plants and animals that gather around the river that forms a unique ecosystem, too.
