HOW ZION WAS FORMED• Layers of sand, mud, and gravel washed down

• These layers grew to be 10,000 feet thick

• Minerals soaked into Zion’s layers

• These minerals helped Zion get its colors

• The stone shifted up to form mountains

• The new mountains caused rivers to erode the layers

• Deep canyons were formed by the running water

• These rivers are still eroding today
