Hidden Valley, Zion National Park

Posted on by

Along Zion Valley Road the tourist bus makes many stops. Trailheads lead up to all sorts of fabulous places. One of the stops, “Weeping Rock” has trails leading to Observation Point, Weeping Rock and Hidden Valley.
Climbing up the switchbacks which have been cleverly crafted into the cliff face one reaches a junction and veers right, up into Hidden Canyon.
What a wonderful place to spend an afternoon exploring! A sandy floor hemmed in by wonderfully colored rock walls…Zion is truly a gem, a fantastically diverse park full of surprises. Hidden Canyon Rock Formations em This formation is on the underside of a rock overhang…not sure how it got there…

The Subway, Zion National Park

Just returned from Zion National Park. One of the hikes there is along the Left Fork. It’s an absolutely unbelievably stunning trek, passing too-numerous-to-count water falls, the canyon is ringed with sumptuous peaks and ends at the entrance to The Subway. Here are a few images, both from the entrance and just inside the subway tunnel…
