Description: Zion National Park, UTAH - Temple of Sinawava - 1947: Zion National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah near the town of Springdale. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile (590 km2) park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to 2,640 ft (800 m) deep. The canyon walls are reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone eroded by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest point in the park is 3,666 ft (1,117 m) at Coalpits Wash and the highest peak is 8,726 ft (2,660 m) at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park has a unique geography and a variety of life zones that allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bat), and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches. Human habitation of the area started about 8,000 years ago with small family groups of Native Americans, one of which was the semi-nomadic Basketmaker Anasazi (c. 300 CE). Subsequently, the Virgin Anasazi culture (c. 500) and the Parowan Fremont group developed as the Basketmakers settled in permanent communities. Named for the coyote spirit of the Paiute nation, the Temple of Sinawava is Zion National Park’s massive natural amphitheater and one of its most popular destinations. Here you will access the Riverside Walk, a 2-mile roundtrip walk that parallels the Virgin River and takes you directly into the heart of the canyon. With the sun glinting off the towering 3000′ sandstone canyon walls, mule deer, wild turkeys, small squirrels darting along the trail, and the rushing crystal clear waters of the Virgin River, it’s easy to see why this place is called a Temple.
