Description

On July 31, 1909, Pres. William Howard Taft authorized the creation of Mukuntuweap National Monument in southern Utah. Encompassing miles of rugged mountain peaks towering above the Virgin River, the national monument used to be renamed Zion and designated as a countrywide park in 1919. The world, at the start inhabited by Native American citizens, used to be settled by Mormon pioneers within the early 1860s. As the wonderful thing about the region gained national fame, roads were constructed, tourist accommodations were established, and from 1927 to 1930, the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel, a 5,613-foot-long engineering wonder, used to be constructed. Recognized world wide for its geologic, scenic, and historic value, Zion, Utah’s first national park, draws millions of holiday makers every year.
