Tree roots help anchor a single tree against the Virgin River in Zion National Park. A slow shutter speed blurs the water, which can rise suddenly if storms appear on the northern end of the park.

A single photographer stands in a grove of trees capturing a photo in Zion National Park during the Photo Imaging Education Association's Photo Safari. This was an annual event held as part of the Photo Marketing Association's trade show, which ended a few years later.

Last light on Zion's red rocks. She climbed high, settled into stillness, and the canyon went gold around her. Some moments ask you to slow down and let the land talk.

A nude woman sits cross-legged with her palms pressed together in prayer pose, perched high on a ledge of red sandstone in Zion National Park. The setting sun lights the rock in deep orange and rust tones, while layered canyon walls and cliffs fall away into soft shadow behind her. The sky glows warm near the horizon, and her small figure is set against the vast landscape.

One of the best parts of the drive through Zion: coming out of the tunnel and suddenly getting the whole landscape in front of you.

Have you ever driven this road through Zion?

I don't think this needs explanation. I'll just let the panoramas do the talking.

Wide panoramic view in Zion National Park, dominated by massive red and orange sandstone cliffs rising above a steep, shrub-covered canyon. A curving park road appears along the far left beneath a vivid blue sky.

Wide panorama of Zion National Park’s higher terrain, with rounded and sheer cream, white, and reddish sandstone formations rising above a forest of pine and juniper trees. Wispy clouds stretch across a brilliant blue sky.

Kept heading north on I-15, briefly crossed into Arizona, then officially made it to Utah!

Stopped for some Taco Bell along the way before continuing through the incredible scenery and finally arriving at Zion National Park. First national park of the trip!
