Driving through Zion National Park

Nice vistas driving into Zion National Park.
The trees are not as colorful as we saw at the Grand Canyon.
Here are mostly evergreens, but the color is in the rocks.

Before entering the park is a ranch where the buffalo roam.



The mountains are very rocky.


Mountain goats were seen on the sides of the mountain...


...and down in the canyon.
People stopped to take photographs.

Deep red rocks...


...and these young men are going to climb.
Hope they are wearing sunscreen!
Even though it's cool the sun is intense.

Yes, this guy is real! Didn't he pose well?

What a beautifully stunning place. I visited Zion decades ago. You brought it all back in vivid colors. Thank you.

Thank you for these pictures, Lizzy! When we toured the US in our trailer, I got to see many Parks and Caves and Rivers and Sights, but I actually think I loved Zion the most! Now as I see your photos, the feeling I had comes back - the awe, the marvel. Thank you again!
(the veri word is billi, like the billy goats gruff, very fitting. Do you think they READ our posts?)

Gorgeous photos Lizzy - I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard of Zion National Park until talking to some friends earlier this summer. You've definitely boosted it further up my "must do" list with these pictures!
