As it rained last week in the main canyon of Zion, it snowed on the Eastside of the park. Since the snow was somewhat light, you can make out the eroded lines and shapes in the soft sandstone.

Checkerboard Mesa is located on the Eastside of Zion National Park and offers outstanding views. Fall colors are popping as well.
Fall colors along the route. Lots of bushwacking required.

Zion’s Subtle Eastside
An Explosion Of Color
At Zion National Park! I’ve lived here for 8 years and have never seen the fall colors as vibrant on Zion’s Eastside as I have this year. More to come.
Zion’s Many Many Pools Trail
Up on the Eastside of Zion National Park is an unmarked and unpublicized trail that offers a different look than the rest of the park. The Many Pools Trail is exactly what the name implies. A bunch of pools or potholes carved through erosion into the soft sandstone. The recent May rains have filled the pools and provided some great reflections. And in the spring you will find nature at work in the form of one little amphibian. The Canyon Tree Frog makes its home in these pools and I have photographed it and recorded its sounds that will be highlighted in my next post. But for now, enjoy the landscape of their home.
