This travelogue of the natural areas of the state of Utah begins in Zion National Park, whose geological splendor is the result of years of erosion and plate tectonics. Man-made development in the park, such as the Mount Carmel Highway and Tunnel, permits human access. There are many canyons in the park, including Powell Canyon, each with its own unique feel. The second and last stop is Bryce Canyon National Park, where there may not be a more diverse and spectacular array of geological formations anywhere in the world.
