워싱턴 카운티 주변 최고의 폭포 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Checkerboard Mesa is one of Zion National Park's most well known features. The name was given due to the horizontal and vertical lines crisscrossing the rock face like a checkerboard.

It's usually quite crowded here

Important when planning hikes

Works great with the shuttle bus

The Virgin River flows through the park, creating a unique riparian ecosystem filled with marshes, natural pools and even swamps! Plus, hundreds of seeps and springs feed into our river and creeks, supporting all kinds of unique wildlife and vegetation. The information board reads: "A swamp in the desert? Strange but true. You can see the water source that is feeding the swamp on the wet cliff face above. The underlying rock in this area cannot absorb all of the water runoff. Consequently the thin layer of soil covering the rock remains continually saturated. The unique assemblage of plants you see here has adapted to this special environment. Help protect this wetland by staying on the trail."

This hike is a highlight

This park is a great spot to start and end your ride while you explore the Zion area. There's water, toilets, shady areas, and the river to cool down in.

The Temple of Sinawava is a massive amphitheater carved by the Virgin River. With beautiful waterfalls, hanging gardens of lush foliage & flowers and 3,000 foot red rock cliffs, it's no wonder why this is one of Zion's most popular spots.
