Observation Point, Zion National Park

Zion National Park has a special place in my heart. I first visited the park back in 2015 and have jumped at every opportunity to go back and visit since. Zion is like no other place. The canyon itself has been been created very slowly over the past 250 million years, give or take a few years ;). As you drive through the canyon you are in complete awe of the towering red cliffs as the skinny road twists and turns mostly following along the path of the Virgin River. The Observation Point hike is breath taking. We ended up starting it from a different location than one usually would. Unfortunately a rockfall at the Weeping Rock trailhead thwarted our original hiking plans. We ended up hiking the East Rim trail, although it was the alternative route it really proved to be an awesome hike. It was nice to have the trail mostly to ourselves and see the views without and competition from other hikers. [Taken with a Canon 5D Mark II]
