The Mormons who first settled this valley in the mid 1800's so loved this valley that they symbollically named it Zion. Zion is the most holy and sacred place in thier religion reserved as a utopia for the most righteous among them. Indeed, even today, many visitors here feel an intense spiritual connection to the spectacular canyon walls, towering sandstone monoliths like the Alter of Sacrifice or Angel's Landing, peaceful sounds of the river, the smell and colors of cactus and wildflowers blooming, and the awesome wildlife like wild turkeys, whitetail deer, squirrels, and lizards.  S.E.E. shows you the best Zion has to offer.  We guide you along the best day hikes, explain how this wonder came to be, connect you with the best canyoneering outfit,and camp you in a beautiful private site just outside the park.  This destination combines well with Bryce Canyon in a trip of 4 to 5 days or with the North Rim of the Grand Canyon as well, called the Canyon Trio for a total of about 6-8 days.

This trip itinerary has a core of the basic sites but varies depending on the day hikes/activity level you choose.
