#28 Zion NP

This is Checkerboard Mesa near the Western Entrance to Zion National Park. Zion is another one of America's premier National Parks. The most popular part of the park is the Canyon created by the Virgin River. There are many spectacular viewpoints that can be reached from easy hikes, but there are also more challenging hikes that await the hearty visitor. One of the NPS' most unique hiking experiences is The Narrows, where you actually hike along a shallow part of the river through a very narrow slot canyon.
