About Kolob Reservoir Road
Kolob Terrace Road, also known as Kolob Reservoir Road, is the least traveled of the main roads through Zion National Park and 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.

About Zion National Park
Follow the paths where ancient native people and pioneers walked. Gaze up at massive sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red that soar into a brilliant blue sky. Experience wilderness in a narrow slot canyon. Zion’s unique array of plants and animals will enchant you as you absorb the rich history of the past and enjoy the excitement of present day adventures.

What's great about visiting Zion National Park is that the park has always been an important part of this vital recovery effort. The Peregrine falcon, the California condor, the Mexican spotted owl, and the bald eagle are all found here. This place of protection and sanctuary harbored these birds with a safe haven where their needs for food, nesting, and habitat never changed. Peregrine falcon returnees established multiple nesting sites over the years and all of their food sources in the park are free of man-made dangers. Reintroduced California condors regularly spend time in Zion, and can sometimes be seen in the Lava Point, Canyon Overlook, and Angels Landing areas. Bald eagles come home to Zion for their winter rest.

These success stories are worthy of celebration, and you can celebrate too. When visiting Zion, each time you look up and see any of the 288 species found on the park's bird list, take heart in knowing that by being here you help them thrive. You offer your highest and best to the idea that all of nature contained in our 232 square mile sanctuary, and beyond, is worthy of saving. May the wandering spirit of all our avian friends inspire in you a new understanding of what it means to fly free. From Zion National Park website
