The Rut Is On At Zion
I’ve probably driven the road through the eastside of Zion National Park well over 2,000 times(Was a park ranger there) and had never seen so many Desert Bighorn Sheep as I did the other day. Must of been 40 of them including 10 Rams. It’s the rutting season and seemingly everyone showed up. This was at 7:00 a.m.
These images had an ethereal look to them because the backdrop is Checkerboard Mesa, one of the most scenic sandstone features at Zion. Video to follow.
Video Of Changing Hues And Colors
Using Adobe software, I took some images and changed the hues and colors and combined them in a video.

Who Knew
I’ve lived in the Zion National Park area for the last 16 years but until recently, did not know these 2 interesting artifacts existed nearby. Less than an hours drive are some dinosaur tracks and Native American Indian rock art know as pictographs. Pictographs are painted onto the rock and petroglyphs are carved into the sandstone.
The Pristine Kaibab National Forest
You may remember the video post showing the fire damaged area of Kaibab National Forest from summer of 2025, Link . Here’s a flyover video from last week showing the area not damaged. The western part of the North Kaibab which is adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park.
