Kolob Canyon Scenic Byway - North Zion National Park
About 18 miles south of Cedar City, just off 1-15, lies the well-traveled Kolob Fingers Scenic Byway. This highway climbs through several switchbacks to unfold the spectacular Kolob "finger canyons". These rugged and steep rock formations are colored in vibrant shades of red. The road features many pull-out areas with magnificent overlooks and geologic information. In the fall, the golden shades of the valley's scrub oak and rabbit brush make an interesting contrast to the broad scenery. Several hiking trails begin at the main road. The trail to Kolob Arch, the world's largest free-standing arch, starts at Lee's Pass. This 14 mile (round trip) hike is great for avid hikers; however, is not recommended in the summer months due to extreme temperatures. The Kolob Canyon Scenic Byway is five miles long and is open year-round.
