Pioneer Voices of Zion Canyon by Eileen M. Smith-Cavros

Introduction by Lyman Hafen and Photographs by Michael Plyler

Published by Zion Natural History Association, read the words and feel the stories of second and third generation pioneers of the greater Zion National Park area which were assembled during the Pioneer Voices of Zion Canyon Project in 2004. The project compiled oral histories of interviewees who lived or worked inside what is now Zion National Park from the 1910's - 1930's, while others lived nearby in Rockville, Springdale and Grafton, Utah.

In their own voices they explain what it was like to live in this inspiring place in a time of transition, to struggle with a seemingly impassive land and to share the joy, hardship, faith, love, frustration, death, and triumphs while coming of age in a land called Zion.

Lose Reception

Out here, the bars on your phone disappear—but something more powerful takes their place. “Losing Reception & Gaining Perspective” isn’t just a phrase, it’s a mindset. In the silence of the canyons and under the vast desert sky, we trade constant connection for something deeper: awe, reflection, and a renewed sense of what matters.

This shirt celebrates the beauty of disconnecting to reconnect—with nature, with yourself, and with the spirit of Zion. Every purchase supports our mission to protect this sacred landscape and inspire future generations to find clarity in the quiet.
