Day Zion, 3,000 feet
Snow Canyon State Park is located just West of Zion above St. Georges, it has lava flows and ared sandstone moonscape. Just East of Zion in Rockville if you take the Bridge road turn off there is a road to a ghost town named Grafton, where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was filmed. (On the road between Bryce Canyon and Zion at Long Valley Junction a short trip up highway 14 will take you to Strawberry Point. It is a stunning view but it is a gravel road that leads into a very developed summer home subdivision.)
