Virgin River

The Virgin River, flowing through the heart of Zion National Park, is the sculptor behind the magnificent Zion Canyon. This river has carved deep into the sandstone over millennia, creating iconic landscapes such as the towering heights of Angel’s Landing and the vibrant, narrow walls of The Narrows. Visitors can explore these natural wonders, experiencing the river’s ongoing work and the dramatic, colorful slot canyons it has formed. The Virgin River’s persistent flow continues to shape and define the park’s breathtaking scenery.
