Summer is here and with no rain for the last few months, the land and my sinuses are parched here in Southern Utah. A forest fire erupted nearby, somewhat emulating a newly erupted volcano. The alfalfa fields are tall but a spark away from torching as well.

Zion’s Cave Valley

Desert Southwest, National Parks, Zion

Zion National Park’s Cave Valley is located in the Kolob Terrace section of the park and straddles private property. Actually, about 16 acres of the images you’ll see here are for sale! Great place to build a new home. The views! The caves here contain Native American Indian pictographs and petroglyphs but are difficult to find.
