Zion Canyon Autumn- Vol. 2 Hidden Zion
I was amazed by the brilliant falls colors at Zion last week, but I also noticed some hidden areas in Zion Canyon that I really never observed before. We all take photos of those wide open panoramas but if you take your telephoto lens and zoom in on specific targets, its amazing what you can capture. And a few pics are of familiar spots but from new vantage points in the park.
Photo(s) Of The Week- Look Closely
If you look closely, you’ll see a rock climber scaling a sheer 1,500 foot wall of sandstone at Zion National Park, Utah. He’s lugging a bag of gear so he can spend the night up there. This was taken late in the afternoon and he had a long way to the top which is Angel’s Landing, the hard way. The second photo gives you a better idea of the climb’s reach.
A Trek Up To Zion’s Colorful Echo Canyon
The other day I was in Zion National Park, scouting out locations where the fall colors may be beginning. There were hints that fall foliage was about to burst but not this day. Echo Canyon is a steep climb about 1,500 feet above the Zion Canyon floor and it was possible fall colors would appear there. I made the trek and was I thrilled that I did. Echo Canyon was aflame in color! There was still some green so the peak may not be for another week but Echo Canyon is spectacular in any season and the brilliant hues and pastels made it extraordinary. These images and more are available as prints including Gallery Canvas prints at Dawn2Dawn Photography
I’m headed over to Moab, Utah this week and the incredible Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.
