Greater Zion has partnered with outdoor brand Coalatree to launch a limited-edition collection of sustainable gear that celebrates the region’s natural beauty while supporting conservation efforts. Designed for outdoor enthusiasts, the collection blends practicality with eco-conscious materials, and a portion of proceeds will benefit the Zion Forever Project, dedicated to preserving Zion National Park.
Highlights of the collection include the Puffy Kachula Adventure Blanket, a versatile piece that converts into a poncho or pillow and features designs inspired by Greater Zion’s iconic red rock cliffs, rivers, and skies. The Mirage Sun Shirt offers lightweight, breathable, UV-protective comfort, adorned with topographical patterns that reflect the area’s hills and valleys.
Elsewhere, Java Socks, made from recycled coffee grounds and plastic bottles, provide sustainable, moisture-wicking performance. Completing the lineup, the Quest Duffel Bag converts into a backpack and is crafted from upcycled materials.
