Zion National Park

Founded in: 1919

Size of the Park: 146,597 acres

Topography: Famous for white, red, and pink Navajo sandstone cliffs, with Zion Canyon reaching up to 3,000 feet deep.

Number of Annual Visitors: 4.6 Million 

Popular Hikes: Angels Landing, The Narrows, and Emerald Pools.

Breuer Fun Facts: This was the park Oskar was most excited to visit and his only request was to hike the Narrows.  I also wanted to stay inside the park to give him the same experience as the book and we were lucky enough to grab a campsite in Watchman Campground the first 4 nights of our trip.  And while I was a bit nervous that we were going to get kicked out of the campsite (our van was just a bit longer than the site allowed), we were completely okay.
