Kolob Terrace, Zion NP
Kolob Terrace Road is the least traveled of the main roads through stunning Zion National Park. Virtually unknown to the mobs of tourists, it provides an easy way to quickly reach the wilderness and escape the crowds that can affect the more well known areas. It offers great views of distant cliffs and valleys, hiking trails to high overlooks and along narrow canyons, and varied landscapes reflecting the wide elevation range of 3,550 to 7,890 feet. The road passes close to Lava Point, the highest summit in the park except for two peaks in the far northwest region, and affords exceptional, near 360° views of the whole park. The Kolob Terrace is home to one of the most popular canyons in Zion: the Left Fork of North Creek, aka "the Subway".
