Henry is the old Volkswagen bug I drive. Out of Kentucky and down through western Tennessee, across the flooded Mississippi at Memphis, then around Little Rock and into Arkansas' Ouchita Mountains we go; for three days getting stranded here by an unannounced snow. Finally, on a blessed sunny morning, southwestward again, this same day the graceful, moisture-loving forest yielding to northeast Texas' stunted oaks and pines. In the afternoon, on Interstate 30 heading into Dallas, the sun in my eyes and the air smelling of dust, pine resin and Henry's hot oil, I begin thinking that just maybe this escape might succeed.

    Introducing Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks

    1 Introducing Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks There aren’t many places in the world where the forces of nature have come together with such dramatic results as in Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks. From arid desert and desolate canyons to pine-covered peaks and awe-inspiring rock formations, these two parks—located about 85 miles apart in colorful southern Utah—offer some of the American West’s most beautiful scenery, along with almost unlimited opportunities for hiking, camping, and other outdoor experiences. Zion and Bryce Canyon sit on the vast, high Colorado Plateau. They share this plateau with Utah’s three other national parks (Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef), as well as with Grand Canyon National Park, in Arizona; Mesa Verde National Park, in Colorado; Chaco Culture National Historical Park, in New Mexico; a number of national monuments and state parks; the Hopi Indian Reservation; and the vast Navajo Nation. The Colorado Plateau developed millions of years ago when forces deep within the earth forced the crust to rise, exposing many strata of rocks. Over several million more years, the power of erosion and weathering sculpted spectacular rock formations, colored with an iron-rich palette of reds, oranges, pinks, and browns. Both Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks are known for their stunning rock formations—Zion for its massive sandstone monoliths, and Bryce for its more delicate limestone sculptures. But the won- drous natural architecture isn’t the sole reason for visiting these parks. You will also find shimmering pools of deep green water, a some- times-roaring river, forests of pine and fir, broad panoramic views, a vastCOPYRIGHTED array of plants and animals, and even aMATERIAL bit of human history, all of which are discussed in the following pages.
