Zion National Park Points of Interest

Riverside Walk - Zion National Park

The Zion National Park Nature Center was formerly Zion Inn. It was the office for rental cabins that were at the building site.  Today it has a taxidermy mountain lion on display.  It has various items for youngsters to enjoy.  It has a picnic area that has a rare feature in the park, shade.  The cottonwood trees provide a refreshing place for weary walkers.

The Zion National Park Visitors Center has the desk that issues back country permits and the bookstore.  The bookstore has later hours than the Visitors Center main area.  The bookstore has Zion National Park items and and a good selection of Southern Utah items.  The shuttle that goes through Zion Canyon begins at the Visitors Center.

The Zion National Park Human History Museum has the exhibits on the Zion National Park background.  In typical National Parks these exhibits would be in the Visitors Center. But Zion National Park is different.
