Zion Park


On a beautiful Friday almost 2 weeks ago, we spent the day in Zion Park. The scenery was spectacular. On the north/south road, you have to ride on their park shuttles. They don't allow private cars on the roads unless you are staying at their lodge. But the shuttles were nice and came to the various stops every few minutes and the driver would give information about what we were viewing. You could get on or off at any stop so could spend what time you wanted at each stop. This mountain was called Checkerboard Mesa. bvg



Sheer Red Cliffs. If you look closedly toward the top you will see two white clad figures of people scaling the cliff.


More Sheer Red Cliffs. Didn't see any climbers on these. But on the hikes we took we saw lots of squirrels, a couple of wild turkeys and a couple of deer, so there is some wildlife in the park.


The Patriarchs. It looks like you are seeing 3 large mountains when actually there are 4, a white one directly behind the far right one. Anyways these are called Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moroni.




Red Butte. It was a really nice day. The sky was clear and the sun shining which added to the beauty of the spectacular scenery.
