Zion is revered as a spiritual place & it is truly heaven on Earth. For those in healthy condition there is plenty of hiking to do. Rock climbing is a popular activity & you can kayack in the Virgin River. The cliffs are colorful. Pink, red, white & vermillion.
The Virgin River, runs through Zion. It drops 7800 feet, making it the fastest flowing river in the United States.
The tunnel through Zion goes right through a mountain. It was opened in 1933. It is 1.1 miles long. As you drive through the tunnel there are large arch cut outs showing awesome views of the mountains. Large vehicles can't drive through without assistance. It requires an additional cost of $15.oo & an escort to drive a large vehicle through.
