| Zion National Park
Backpacking September 2003 |
 |
|
We just descended about 750' from our campsite. It was above the pouroff stain on the cliff behind Amanda. |
 |
| We finally get to peer into the depths of Zion Canyon far below. |
 |
| This is Angel's Landing. It is a long spire of rock about 1000' tall jetting out into the canyon. Here you see a single step, on either side of this 3' wide step is a thousand foot drop, sounds fun huh!! |
 |
| This is the last of the switchbacks leading to the bottom of the canyon. It was nice to finally dip ourselves into the Virgin River's waters. |
 |
| The trip wore us out, so we took a day of relaxing and short hikes. This is the east side of the park, it is completely different than the other parts of the park and very beautiful. |
 |
| Then we found a cool mini slot canyon. Awesome orange light comes in from above. |
 |
| Here we are at the mouth of the Narrows with the virgin river behind us. |
