Curing tiie coming summer and
fall it is expected it will be visited by
thousands of tourists from many parts
of tin- United States. Zion park, the
nation's newest, is located iu the
southwestern part of the state, and
was created by act of congress Nov.
1!). 11)11). It has an area of approxi
mately SO,000 acres.
Rugged scenery, similar to that of
the Grand canyon, is Zion’s greatest
drawing card, and the region in which
it is located has changed but little
since the early Mormon colonization
days.
Many new wonders are being un
earthed within the ark boundaries.
Chief among these are ancient clitl
dwellings, located high up on the
hills. These dwellings have never
been explored by the present genera
tion because of their inaccessible lo
cation, and are visible only through
strong fields glasses. Photographs
taken of the ruins with long-distance
cameras, however, show the crude
houses to be in a perfect state of pres
ervation, and during the coming'sum
mer a party of aicheologists plans to
make extensive exploiations of them.
How they will gain access has not yet
been determined, but scientists con
nected with the University of Utah
heie declare it will be possible, if no
other way is found, to lower the ex
plorers over the tops of the cliffs by
means of ropes.
