Zion National Park in Southwest Utah

Zion is the first National Park in Utah.  President Woodrow Wilson established the Park on November 19, 1919.

the Zion National

Park sign.

Zion is the last of the five "Big 5" Parks that Eric and I are visiting this Spring.  Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Bryce National Parks are unique from each of the other Parks.  I am amazed that there is so much geological variety in one State.

Zion is a very busy National Park.  Many visitors come here to hike the trails.

Eric is driving south

through Zion & stopping

at the Park's small

pull-offs to get photos.

Located on the edge of the

Colorado Plateau, this

region has been thrust

 upward, tilted, & eroded.

There's a lot of

different rocks

in this Park.

Each formation is

different from the

others.

I feel tiny.

This is the road that Eric

follows as we climb

up a mountainside.

The views are 

spectacular!

The first of two tunnels in

Zion National Park.

This is a perfect day

for photos.

Visitors must be careful

in this Park that needs

more pull-offs.

Erosion creates

unique art.

Approaching the

second tunnel.

I think about the 

forces that created 

these formations.

Eric picks the best

locations for selfies.

This overhang is

unique.

The trail to the summit

is very popular.

Fascinating formations

come in all sizes\ at
