I was there the other year, and we were going to go up to the top of Angels Landing.
Couldn't do it due to bad weather!
So this is still on my Bucket List.

Found this by searching for challenging maps in google. Not disappointed.

Water is extremely scarce, because the river flow would decrease and increase randomly, which results in water supply going up and down too. Starting tile's river merge just north provides plenty until you reach around 3k pop or so, then it will really start straining since sometimes you drain the water faster than the river flow.

Space to work on is also really tight too. Gets really hard after 5k population, which is my target of difficulty.

i love this map.. very hard to expand, and the city looks kinda trippy being confined to the canyon.. fun to play

Hey guys, I'll take a look at creating a euro version when I have time. Life has gotten busy on me. :)

I am absolutely loving this map! Love the challenge of planning around all the elevation changes, building districts on mesas and stringing highways along canyons and crevasses. I for one am glad binhex couldn't replace this hard version of the map!

As for dams, you can always make sewage dams. Some of my sewage dams are generating a couple hundred megawatts, thanks to my population's enthusiastic sewage-making.

Last days i play on this map, very cool but hard. At the Moment i have 35k People. Problem is the
Sewage, that flooding areas :)

For version 2 with more water, check out: Zion National Park v2

So I have an update for this map, it adds more water flow to the river, easier access out of the canyon, more buildable area's in canyon, and more trees.

However, I can't seem to update the existing map. I must have been editing the wrong save or something, as in the content manager, there are two copies of the map, and I can't update the one that has the update button. I'm going to try for a bit longer, and if I can't get it it to update, I'll upload it as a new map.

; )

Agree with Epic Fail Guy, if only this map could fit a dam then it be perfect!

What an awesome map! I've got a population of 15k now and the upper canyon is totally full ;-)

holy shit, this is freaking gorgeous! (pun intended...)

It took me seeing 150 maps to find the first, perfect one I'd build my first city on. It took me 1 to find my second. I wasn't even searching for one. This is beautiful. Mind-blowing setting. Thank you.

Cool map, but the rivers are kinda useless for Dams... If I could build Dams on this map it would be one of my favourite.

Truly nice work man! It reminds me Fallout:New Vegas Honest Hearts. Good job, keep working.

i can finally dump sewage into america's natural landmarks

Love the map, but it has some slight glitches with the shadows. Not sure if it has to do with the color correction or not.

Love this map! Its a challenge but its not impossiple so I am having a really fun time with it!

So much quality! Well done author...

Glad you are enjoying it!

It actually took a lot of tweaking to get the water running semi consistently at it's current level (I kept ending up with waves of flood water building up and coming downstream (due to the twists in the river I'm guessing?)).

On my game I used water towers, then when I expanded downstream I used pumps down past where the rivers merge. Also, putting your waste treatment plant upstream might help, i'm not sure if citizens will complain about that.

I'm open to trying to increase the size of the main river though if people would like that. I've been kind of itching to improve the highway layout anyways.

This map is hard as hell and has been teaching me how to abuse dirt roads for fun and profit (they can be steeper than paved ones). It's beautiful, too. Love it!

Only problem: The water supply is really inconsistent, and the level fluctuates a lot over time. With three pumps, I often drain the river dry. Is that expected with a river that small? Is it an issue to fix? Should I be using water towers instead?

Quality map

Really cool, I can't wait to build my rural mountain town here!

Glad you like it :)

This is great
