Zion National Park, UT

Today we visited Zion National Park, the last of the 4 parks we went to in Utah. As you can tell by the pictures, each had their own unique rock formations. This one is called the checkerboard.

This looks like a giant beehive on top of the mountain.

Another stunning formation.

This was three peaks that were breathtaking. Pictures do not do justice to the beauty of these mountains and formations. It is so hard to pick a few pictures each day for the blog. We have taken almost 3000 pictures so far. It will really be hard to edit when we get home.

We have traveled on many mountains and mountain passes over the past few weeks. In Oregon on the way to California, at Yosemite and in these four parks we drove on steep curvy roads. I didn't count how many swithbacks on steep mountain roads, many with 6%, 8% or 10% inclines, that we drove with little or no guard rails. It was a little scary, but also exilerating.

Our next stop is the north rim of the Grand Canyon.
