Zion National Park Atheist Adventure


  • Watchman Campground - Zion National Park Utah 9 Springdale, UT, 84767 United States (map)

Grab your friends, tents, and telescopes for our third annual Atheist Adventure camping trip!

Atheists United has chosen the iconic Zion National Park for its 2023 Atheist Adventure and Stargazing Party.

____________

Zion National Park is one of the crown jewels of the U.S. National Park Service system. It is known worldwide as a geologic wonderland of towering cliffs, deep narrow canyons, and sweeping expanses of bare sandstone slickrock. Its focal point is Zion Canyon, a steep-walled gorge carved through hundreds of meters of early Jurassic-era Navajo sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River.

Due to its location near the junction of three great geographic provinces of the American West, the Park protects a remarkable diversity of plant and animal species inhabiting several different life zones. It also preserves evidence of nearly 8,000 years of human habitation, including the Mormon settlers of the mid-nineteenth century who gave the area its name, used in their religion to connote an association of the righteous.

Today, as one of the “Big Five” national parks in southern Utah, Zion is famous for its many hiking trails and activities, including camping, horseback riding, nature walks, and rock climbing. On top of all that, the dark night skies attract visitors from around the world because of the park’s International Dark Sky Park status.
