This is Zion National Park

To see Zion's wilderness in all its rugged glory we followed a red road down to the canyon floor. Here we gazed up in awe at magnificent vibrantly coloured cliffs of sandstone.  The Virgin River which is responsible for much of the canyon's topography winds its way through the length of the park and provided us with a much needed cool respite from the summer heat. 

Zion National Park truly is an oasis in the desert.  
Unfortunately we were only able to experience this natural wonder for a day.  
It was an unexpected gift. 




Water drips endlessly from the sandstone cliff walls.
