In a Haven of Habitats Almost 12,000 years ago Zion's first peoples, who are now almost invisible, tracked mammoth, giant sloth, and camel across southern Utah. Due to climate change and overhunting these animals died out about 8,000 years ago. Humans adapted by focusing on mid-sized animals and gathered foods. As resources dwindled 2,600 years ago, people tuned lifeways to the specifics of place. Such a culture, centered on Zion, differentiated over the next 1,500 years into a farming tradition archeologists call Virgin Anasazi. Zion's geology provided these and later pioneer farmers a combination rare in the desert: a wide, level place to grow food, a river to water it, and an adequate growing season. On the Colorado Plateau crops grow best between 5,000 and 7,000 feet, making Zion's elevations -- 3,666 to 8,726 feet -- almost ideal. Differences in elevation also encourage diverse plants and animals; mule deer and turkey wander forested plateaus; bighorn sheep and juniper prosper in
Ditto on the 1919.
This August we were very hot 52 ° but even so we had the best of it. Landscape, highway, restaurants, trekking paths ... Everything is very well indicated. You have to go and enjoy it. I recommend it to you. Now bring a few bottles of water to drink and for the car. the car if you do not use it better 😉
Although it was discovered by native Americans many years earlier, it was established as a National Park in 1919.
