Zion National Park NATURE AND WILDLIFE Located in Washington, Iron and Kane Counties in Southwestern Utah, Zion National Park encompasses some of the most scenic canyon country in the United States. Zion National Park is characterized by high plateaus, a maze of narrow, deep sandstone canyons and striking rock towers and mesas. Zion National Park is a showcase of geology. Geologic processes have played an important role in shaping Zion. The arid climate and sparse vegetation allow the exposure of large expanses of colorful bare rock and reveal the park's geologic history to every visitor. PARK HISTORY Almost 12,000 years ago Zion National Park's first peoples, who are now almost invisible, tracked mammoth, giant sloth, and camel across southern Utah. Due to climate change and over hunting these animals died out about 8,000 years ago. Humans adapted by focusing on mid-sized animals and gathered foods. As resources dwindled 2,600 years ago, people tuned lifestyles to the specifics of place. Such a culture, centered on Zion National Park, differentiated over the next 1,500 years into a farming tradition archeologists call Virgin Anasazi. These people were the original residents of Zion National Park.
