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.
These geologic anomalies are not too rare in Southern Utah. These can be spotted in Zion National Park near Hop Valley. These images and more can be purchased as wall art at What’s New At D2D
This distorted rock formation can be viewed from my home but while out one day during a rainstorm, I pulled over and caught these images. Eagle Crags is just outside Zion National Park, Utah.

A rainstorm hit Zion Canyon and I was able to capture this footage from outside the park. It is illegal to fly a drone inside the park. I also utilized a zoom on the video to get in closer. Watch in HiDef at Full Screen. Music is Alone In Kyoto by the French band Air
Autumn has decided to stick around a bit this year in Southern Utah. Two weeks ago these maple trees in Zion were mostly green. In years past, the colors would have been at peak. But patience and another trip up Zion Canyon enabled me to get these shots.

Elevation makes a difference when searching for autumn colors. These images were taken at about 7,000 feet in elevation. The colors are probably gone today since we had a snowstorm bust through this area over the weekend.
