Nature
Ant Hill is a 6,641-foot summit of white Navajo Sandstone in Zion National Park in southwestern Utah. Rising about 1,400 feet above the Zion–Mount Carmel Highway, it stands out prominently in the park’s eastern landscape between The East Temple and Checkerboard Mesa. Its runoff flows into tributaries of the Virgin River, connecting it to the canyon system that defines Zion. The surrounding area has a cold semi-arid climate, with under 10 inches of annual rainfall, generally favorable spring and fall conditions, and usually light winter snowfall. Though easily seen from a main scenic route, Ant Hill is a dangerous, exposed climb and a rugged summit rather than a simple roadside feature.
