Springtime in Zion Series – #3

Your neck gets a workout at Zion because you are constantly looking UP! Vibrant scenes like this are right by the roadway. Radiant sunlight and feathery clouds like this at the Riverside Walk area capture your heart. This particular locale is on the northern end of the park shuttle.

The Grotto area has a magical canopy of huge trees, just north of the Zion Lodge. Several trails lead off from here, including to this arch carved into the mountain’s base and the one to the famous Angels Landing. You have to be sure-footed, young, and very brave to try that tortuous trail!

  2. Incredible! I visited your link and had a panic attack just watching that girl pick her way over the rocks. Anyone ever get killed up there? Perhaps that's why they call it "Angels Landing."

  3. Gosh I thought they had closed Angels Landing. I was sick when my daughter told me she had hiked it, it is scary but probably amazingly beautiful

  4. Gorgeous scenery. Sure footed, young and brave are 3 things that do NOT describe me. I'll have to settle for just viewing your lovely photos :)
