Kolob Canyons, Canyon system in Washington and Iron Counties, United States.
The Kolob Canyons feature parallel box formations with crimson sandstone walls reaching heights of 2,000 feet along the western edge of Colorado Plateau.
The area became part of Zion National Park in 1956, expanding the protected wilderness region and preserving its geological formations for future generations.
Native American tribes inhabited these lands for generations, leaving traces of their presence through artifacts and cultural connections to the canyon landscapes.
Visitors must obtain passes at the Kolob Canyons Visitor Center, and the five-mile scenic drive provides access to multiple trails and viewpoints.
The Taylor Creek Trail leads to a double arch alcove formation, while seasonal streams create waterfalls among the red rock formations.
