Kolob Branch of Zion National Park 

Kolob Canyon is an arm of Zion National Park that is often missed by those who visit the main part of Zion. Kolob has a 5 mile scenic drive through a narrow canyon to the crest of the mountain. Sheer cliffs with hanging gardens greet the visitor. From the crest, you can see the top of the Colorado Plateau.  There is a small visitor center at Kolob but often rangers are not available. There are no facilities so visitors should bring a lunch or plan on stopping in St George or Cedar City for lunch. To reach Kolob Canyon of Zion National Park, take I15 to exit 40 between the cities of St George and Cedar City.   The exit sign announces Kolob Canyon.
