Swing by the Zion Canyon Visitor Center Plaza for a short ranger talk to enrich your park experience! Talks take place next to the shuttle depot so plan to attend before or after riding the Zion Canyon Shuttle. Explore the resources that make Zion special! Topics may include geology, wildlife, plants, human history, and so much more. No two programs are quite the same!
