Entering Zion National Park from the east entrance immediately reveals a colorful display of orange, brown and white slickrock that includes one of the parks landmarks, Checkerboard Mesa. The majestic criss-crossed mountain appears as a massive hill towering 900 feet above the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway and resembles a giant, extended chess or checkerboard.
Breathtaking desert waterfall is unique feature in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The trail follows Calf Creek to the 126' high falls. 6 miles round trip hike is well worth for the reward.
