SPRINGDALE, UT - - Today we're in Zion National Park, a spectacular carving of sandstone by wind, water and time. We've hiked 4 miles up and up to Observation Point, one of the many maintained trails in the park. I'm sitting on a government survey marker which says 6,508' elevation. I refuse to get close enough to look over the edge. The elevation gain on this hike is listed at 2,148' so I guess that's how far I could fall.The valley below us has the park road where the shuttle buses run and the winding Virgin River. The sun is fairly overhead, hence a bit of washed-out effect on everything in the distance. Tomorrow, the real work begins as we 'really' do start heading home.
Great Photography and bet it was even better to look at it
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'll have to visit.
ReplyDeleteGreat photograph! My best hike was taken in Zion. I think it was called Angels Landing. Although Zion can get really jammed with tourists, it's a great place to visit if you want to hike. I also thought it was more tourist-friendly than Bryce.

Your pictures of Zion are gorgeous, I always take feet pictures like these too :)
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend getting out to Grand Teton National Park in WY if you ever get a chance. It's absolutely magnificent... safe travels!
