Wanna go for a run? "The Trans-Zion is a 48-mile route across Zion National Park that wanders from the East Entrance to Lee Pass in the Kolob Canyons section of the park. The route links together many of Zion's most scenic trails and amasses more than 10,000 feet of total climbing."

A Walk to Remember. For three hours Wednesday evening, the Zion – Mount Carmel Highway was closed to car traffic inside Zion National Park to let 300 people walk through the tunnel. It may have been the last time for people to do so legally for the foreseeable future. When the tunnel was first built, cars could stop at galleries built into the tunnel to stop and look at the canyon below. With increased traffic this became too dangerous and became disallowed. Walking through the tunnel is also illegal. This event was part of the Zion National Park Centennial. Some photos from the event can be found here, here, and here.
