I just spent time in Zion National Park, Utah. Like other parts of the west right now, it isn't very snowy or icy. Everyday the sun illuminated the magical stone formations, bathing them in rich light.
I searched for desert bighorn sheep and spotted wild turkeys.
The canyon lookout trail provided stunning glimpses of Zion Canyon. Ravens soared around the peaks as storm clouds gathered above.
On the trail to the canyon overlook Fossilized sanddunes abound throughout the park, the direction of the dunes clearly preserved in crossbedding.
fossilized sand dunes shown in crossbedding I climbed up to Scout Lookout via the famous Walter's Wiggles, a series of very steep switchbacks.

Walter's Wiggles The view from Scout Lookout was astounding. Far below the Virgin River flowed along the canyon floor.
