Natural History Photographs


After the required highlights, such as the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon, and the no less rewarding Coral Pink Sand Dunes, we had a few days left in Kanab. Based on internet information, we decided to go for Zion National Park, closer to Kanab that Bryce Canyon, and since there commendations for Zion are very favorable, we decided to go here. We made three stops, two unplanned ones and the must-see Zion Canyon. The second stop was at a place where the road crossed a small river. We had a simple lunch at the bridge, and of course I looked into the river as well...
