Zion national park in Utah is on the way to bryce and other Utah destinations. Since its on the way to most Utah and Arizona parks its easy for tourist to spend a day visiting this beautiful mountain park. Zion is a Mormon word for a heavenly place, and this park definitely embodies that word. I spent a bright sunny day at Zion national Park in May visiting the most popular destination, the narrows. To get to the narrows is a 1mile walk passing across a beautiful river and the mountain side filled with hanging gardens. From the 1mile is a 5mile walk through the river to the proper narrows, which i was unable to do since i did not have the proper gear. This is will be my goal for the next visit. So from just the 1mile i was able to get some good shots of the spring greenary in the park. So here are some pictures taken from this short trip at Zion:
