A few of the words

NARROWS

HOODOO
Hoodoos are tall, thin spires of rock left standing when softer surrounding stone erodes away; Bryce Canyon, less than 90 miles from Zion, holds one of the densest concentrations on Earth.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
SLICKROCK
Despite the name, slickrock, the bare, smooth sandstone surface so common on the Colorado Plateau, is actually quite grippy under a hiking boot; the name comes from its slipperiness under the hooves of early pioneers' pack animals.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
MESA
Mesa is the Spanish word for table, a fitting name for these flat-topped, steep-sided landforms that define the horizon across much of the desert Southwest.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

Zion & the Red Rock Country: a free large-print word search

Zion & the Red Rock Country, a free, large-print puzzle tracing towering cliffs, silent slot canyons, and sun-warmed sandstone through the desert Southwest.

About Zion & the Red Rock Country

Zion National Park sits in the canyon country of southwestern Utah, where the Virgin River has carved the Narrows, a cathedral of sheer sandstone walls barely wide enough for two people to walk abreast. The Colorado Plateau stretches far beyond Zion's borders, giving rise to arches, hoodoos, mesas, and buttes painted in every shade of red and amber the desert sun can conjure. Juniper and pinyon cling to the canyon rims, and the smell of sage after a brief desert rain is one of the most particular pleasures this wild country offers.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last — the trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps — never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
