Zion National Park has some of the most stunning landscapes in the country. Ribbons of red rock wind through the park, some of them 270 million years old. The breathtaking cliffside hike up to Angels Landing is world famous. This vertiginous climb to the peak is so steep that a Methodist minister visiting in 1916 is said to have quipped that only an angel could land there, a legend retold by the National Park Service.
