Idyllic chemistry blends in with a subtle plot

Hallmark proves that one can fall in love in any part of any country. With 'Love in Zion National' that fact is proved. The story is about a history enthusiast, Lauren, who is out to find a set of ancient vases that belong to a preserved community of Puebloans. The vases are said to be in a National Park, hidden away in the middle of two mountains. Lauren's character has a lot of depth and history, her character has been given a great arc and a story that will make you fall in love with her. She loves the park and used to visit there with her mother when she was a child, and the plot talks about her mother who has recently passed away. Her love for archaeology and some urgent museum work has led her to visit Zion National Park after many years.

While at the park, Lauren goes on a mission to find the ancient vases but instead stumbles upon a love interest. Adam is a Puebloan Park Ranger and a charming, old-school man who grew up with her grandmother. The two get along and are set on the journey to find the missing ancient vases while stumbling upon feelings they develop for each other along the way.

A simple yet endearing love story

'Love in Zion National' was filmed entirely in Utah, specifically at the Zion National Park. The scenic views of the National Park and its red soil just make the movie much greater than its plot. The cinematography is simple and yet adds a lot of weight to the story of Lauren and Adam. All the characters have done their best to deliver a jam-packed love story that stumbles here and there but finally lands on its feet by the end.

If you love romantic movies and are looking for something to set your weekend plans straight, then 'Love in Zion National' is the movie for you, which is now available exclusively on Hallmark.
