The Zion Human History Museum has exhibits on the human history of Zion National Park in Utah. It’s located along the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway and is at the second shuttle stop.
I quickly went through the museum and didn’t focus as much as I should have. From what I saw the exhibits were informative. They include displays on Native American culture, pioneer settlement, and the history and growth of Zion as a national park.
There’s also a 22 minute film about the park that runs every half hour, but I didn’t watch it. It’s shown every half hour and gives an overview about Zion.
Towers of the Virgin
Outside the museum there are some great views of the Towers of the Virgin. It’s possible to spot the West Temple to the left, with its flat top at 7,810 feet. The Sundial sits just to the right of the West Temple, at 7,590 feet. Further to the right is the Altar of Sacrifice at 7,505 feet. The name for the Altar of Sacrifice really fits, as it has a streak of red flowing down from its flat top.
