These might look a little like natural arches, but they’re actually made by people. Workers tunneled through solid rock here in 1914 to make room for the road.

Both are popular hikes with great views at the end.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Weeping Rock Trail1 Zion Park Blvd., , UtahWhile we don’t know too much about those Ice Age hunters, newer residents left their stories behind.

One group, the Fremont, cultivated a drought- and cold-resistant species of corn which could thrive even at high altitudes.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Big Bend ViewpointSpringdale, UT 84767We’re almost at Canyon Junction Bridge.

Those three mountains are the iconic Court of the Patriarchs. And who are these patriarchs? Well, a local Christian minister named them after three figures from the Bible: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from left to right. Duration: 3 hoursStop At: Zion scenic drive viewpoint 2Apple Valley, UT 84737The park service works hard to keep this place as natural and untouched as possible… while simultaneously handling over 4 million visitors each year. But that wasn’t the case in the early 1900s. No one knew about this place and that meant no revenue... and that meant… development. Duration: Not AvailableStop At: The Zion-Mount Carmel TunnelZion – Mount Carmel Highway, Hurricane, UT 84737First, bring lots of water! You may think you’ve got enough… but you probably don’t. This might seem obvious, but Utah’s heat is unforgiving, and heat-stroke or sun-stroke can easily ruin a fun vacation. Second, make sure you don’t overtax yourself! Hiking around here is going to be more difficult than you might be used to, thanks to the elevation. Be sure you don’t embark on journeys you’re not certain you’ll be able to finish.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Canyon Overlook TrailZion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel, East Entrance, UtahThis park has a ton of great trails, but Angel’s Landing stands in a league of its own.
