Zion's Narrows, 2

Continuing our very satisfying hikes up The Narrows, Zion National Park's upper Virgin River Canyon...

The House

Shots looking up are really difficult...but here you're looking up some hundreds
of feet, through a 10-20 foot slit in the canyon ceiling

And here we are at a side canyon that is a well- known
landmark on the hike; we'd just finished visiting with a
guided party that had stopped for mimosas on the way
and shared them and some stories with us...nice folks on
the trail

And now we are deep in The Narrows

And really narrow

Pausing for the Moment

Thus

Wall Street, so-called

Looking up again

Well beyond Wall Street now

And still quite narrow

Proceeding on

Miles of incredible erosion features, high and low

And the stream responsible

Ever onward

Another floor to ceiling shot that mostly worked

20 feet above the creek, caves scoured out aeons ago with
grapefruit- and watermelon-sized rocks left behind

Vicki and more Narrows

On the return

Petty incredible place...we'll be back
