The team at Zion National park are eager for you to take a walk down memory lane with them. This summer they’ve finished a digitization project, converting old VHS tapes into digital media for future generations to enjoy.

The films provide a look back at the more recent history of Zion and ensure the important insights are properly preserved.

Some of these tapes can be watched on the NP Gallery and on the National Park Service Multimedia Search website. 

Check out this snapshot of the footage on the Zion National Park Instagram feed.
