Zion National Park
Springdale
Few places in the world match Zion Canyon's visual drama — vermilion sandstone monoliths soaring 2,000 feet above a ribbon of emerald cottonwood forest and Virgin River. Within this cathedral landscape, nearly 300 bird species have been documented, and Black-chinned and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds are active summer residents that patrol the canyon floor's riparian corridor. Zion's extraordinary hanging gardens — seeping springs on cliff faces draped with cardinal flower, scarlet monkeyflower, and columbine — create natural nectar stations that hummingbirds visit predictably throughout summer. The Angel's Landing and Riverside Walk trails offer prime hummingbird encounters alongside some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet, making this a Hummingbird Trail entry that doubles as a once-in-a-lifetime landscape experience.
