California condors make a comeback in zion national park thanks to reintroductio

Zion National Park is home to one of the most remarkable conservation success stories—the California Condor Recovery Program. Once nearly extinct, with only 27 birds left in the wild in the 1980s, these massive scavengers have made a slow but steady comeback, thanks to a dedicated reintroduction effort.
Zion’s towering cliffs provide an ideal habitat for condors to roost and nest, especially along the Kolob Canyons, Angels Landing, and the West Rim Trail. Visitors who spot one of these giants—often with wingspans reaching nearly 10 feet—witness a true symbol of resilience.
