Zion NP is a beautiful sandstone canyon. To really see it requires walking/hiking - and there are plenty of trails ranging from easy to dangerous/strenous! You will be rewarded. Bryce NP is a study in geology and beautiful in a different fashion from Zion - also about 4000’ higher! Hope you enjoy my October 2021 visit.

Hiking through the washes - previous flow ripples remain in sand
Beautiful slot canyon hikes - except when rain is forecast!
Unmarked petroglyphs location shared by another photographer. Sadly they are unmarked because people vandalize them. Thousands of years old…..imagine the people telling these stories……
Wild wild fall.
