Zion National Park is one of the nation's oldest and combines some of the most colorful, deep and nar-row canyons, sheer rock walls and unique formations found anywhere. For millions of years, the wind, rain, frost and the Virgin River have shaped the Navajo sandstone creating thousands of layers of multicolored sheets of rock placed in many different directions. In the winter, there are traces of snow against the red rock with green pine When you sit down with your fami-ly to plan this year's vacation don't overlook one of the greatest master-pieces Mother Nature ever created Utah. The Beehive State offers an unequalled variety of scenic beauty and recreational opportunities throughout the state. Utah is a land of contrasts. Throughout the state snow-cappe- d peaks stand out against arid deserts, and brilliant wildflowers speckle mountain meadows and colorful ca-nyons. But Southern Utah is a scenic wonderland, displaying some of the most rugged and delicate attrac-tions in the world. Within a mile circle lie five National Parks, which preserves this natural beauty just for your consumption. is full of burnt orange and red rocks, shaped like spires to resemble mountain castles. Pine trees and sagebrush are mixed in, and in the winter, a trace of snow lies in the cracks and crevices of the forma-tions. Thunderstorms will rearrange sediments and the location of the sun will change the brilliant colors from one moment to the next. Time ap-pears to have stood still leaving the park untouched by civilization. Hik-ing down into the parks is the best way to view the delicate columns, spires and windows which are a maze of reds, pinks and creams. Canyonlands National Park is a result of the Colorado and Green Rivers cutting almost 1,500 feet into the earth's surface. The many spec- - trees sparcely decorating the tall cliffs. Zion is massive and overbear-ing; the whole canyon seems to be frozen in time. A road has been cut through part of the mountain to in-clude a mile tunnel that looks like the inside of a medieval castle. The stream flowing along the canyon floor creates a con-trast with the green and gold trees and shrubs below and the striking colors of the rocks above. Most of Zion's main formations can be seen from the paved road which winds through the park. Utah's five National Parks are open-roun- d. The climate is mild enough to enjoy the parks in any season. Whether you plan to hike, camp or just explore, the parks offer the visitor a rare opportunity to ex-perience the beauty and diversity that time has created. Arches National Park lies in a region of desert sandstone, deep ca-nyons and unusual plant life. Wind, water and time have carved the world's largest concentration of stone arches within the 115 square-mil- e park. The most well-know- n at-traction, Delicate Arch, stands 45 feet high and frames the LaSal Mountains and the Colorado River. Many of the arches can be seen from the road, but well-mark- trails lead to the more obscure ones. Bryce Canyon is one of the most delicate and colorful of all the Na-tional Parks. Bryce is technically not a canyon but a series of "breaks" in the earth's surface. Within these breaks are twelve large amphitheatres. The breaks plunge down a thousand feet through multicolored limestone. The canyon tacular formations include eroded arches, needles, spires and standing rocks, and cover 257,640 acres. One of the best ways t see the park is by river. Cataract Canyon, where the Colorado and Green Rivers meet, is one of the wildest rivers for rafting in the United States. .Other ways to explore this rugged wilderness are by hiking, jeeping or scenic flights. Paved state roads also allow access to the park. Capitol Reef National Park is fill-ed with massive gorges, cathedrals, pinacles and scarps. The park is named for its domed formations, which, capped with white sandstone resemble the nation's capitol building. The domes are part of Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mi- le long bulge in the earth's crust which con-tains pockets that catch thousands of Free Lodging 1 available on third night lodging SNOW FLOWER CONDOMINIUMS & RESERVATIONS P.O.
