 The
colorful sandstone formations of Snow Canyon State Park are just ten miles
from Comfort Suites, while the alpine ski resort of Brian Head lies 65
miles north.
Zion National Park
is a myriad of deep sandstone canyons, which extend over 30 miles from
end to end and covers 229 square miles. Early Mormon settlers, (members
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), named the canyons
of Zion and many of the Zion formations in the park have names from the
Christian Bible. Zion National Park was established in 1909 as Mukuntuweap
National Monument and expanded in 1919 to Zion National Park. Zion Park
is composed mostly of sandstone stained by the oxidizing of iron in the
rock. Zion National Park with its many canyons contains 75 species of
mammals, 271 birds, 32 reptiles and amphibians and 8 fish in the streams
and rivers, which have carved these canyons. Zion is truly one of the
natural marvels of the world.
