Still Holding On

This little tree lost all his needles and looked pretty dry but he was still holding onto life, and as he had such beautiful form I wanted to give him the honor of being captured forever in this photograph.

Red Canyon

Enjoying the view of the monuments of Red Canyon way above the tree-line in the distance. An hour ago one would not have expected this red canyon to suddenly appear on Highway 12 in Utah.

The "Royals" of Red Canyon

Don't they look like the Queen and her King with their bishop, the tower and even the horse plus some small pawns? It's an amazing thrill to walk among these giants. Driving along Utah Hwy 12 going East, there is flat desert with mountains in the distance, but then suddenly you are in the middle of this parklike Red Canyon.

The Courtyard of the "Royals" of Red Canyon

The shapes of these rocks look like people. I call them the "Royals" in stone. They have a whole courtyard with lots of “servants", beautiful fur trees and walkways. Plus the view from the top is gigantic.

Western Countryside

This wide view into the countryside is on Highway 12 in Utah. It's a long trip with very few villages like Tropic, Escalante, Boulder and then Torrey. But it's one of the most exciting routes in this part of the country.

Red Canyon, Utah

After hours and hours on Hwy 89 in Utah we turned right into Hwy 12 not thinking about anything exciting to come our way. But suddenly there was this rock greeting us. Our attention spiked tremendously.

Leaving Zion Park

Below the impressive mountains there runs Hwy 9, which winds through the whole park. Lots of people were leaving towards the East Gate. It was a gorgeous sunny day and saying good bye to the mountains was not easy. But new exciting journeys were calling.

Upper Emerald Pool

It's impossible to get a good look at the Zion Park Waterfall of the Upper Emerald Pool. The canyon at this spot is so tight. That day not much water came over the rocks and the pool below was half empty. But from the broken trees one can imagine that after the winter lots of water might be rushing down the fall.

Upper Emerald Pools

This is part of the Emerald Pools at Zion Park. That's all the water it carried at that time. On the left side is the walk way with some people. And above the walkway is part of the cliff where that water is usually coming down. As the canyon is very tight with high walls, it's really dark under the trees and hard to take a picture.

Emerald Pool Close-up

This is what the rocks look like underneath the waterfall of the upper Emerald Pool in the Zion Park. People who study rocks know what all these different colors mean. And on top of all this rock there are trees growing on the steep canyon walls and little plants.

Upper Emerald Waterfall

The Waterfall inside the Zion Park Canyon was pretty dry as it had not rained for a while. I took the photo because it is like looking inside those huge mountains. This is what they are made of: crystals and salts and copper. I find that amazing. And up on the mountain there grow a bunch of trees, even some large ones. I sure hope the dirt will hold onto the mountain when the rain comes, so the trees can continue to grow.

Close-up Upper Emerald

This is like looking inside one of those huge mountains. This is what they are made off. And one quarter up the mountain grow a bunch of trees. Sure hope the dirt will stay for them to continue to grow.

Hiking in Zion Park

It is an interesting hike up to the Upper Emerald Pool with lots of great views of the cliffs and vegetation. They are keeping the walkway pretty nice, even people with little kids can manage it. And here is a little bench of tree roots for someone to take a rest, as it can get pretty hot in the summer walking along the canyon walls.

That's My Cup

I wanted to capture the new leaves coming from the tree stump. Being so happy that the tree was still alive. But where to put my cup while taking the photo? This tree is in front of the Zion Park Lodge in the National Park in Utah. I wish that it gets a lot more leaves.

Virgin River, Zion Park

Hikers heading for the Emerald Pools Trail crossing the Virgin River. It's a great walk up and down the mountain with an easy gradient so even kids and older folks can manage it. At the end there is a waterfall which was not very strong at that day. But it created some nice fresh air to breath.

Virgin River Bridge

In order to get to the Upper Emerald Pools, where the water falls over the rocks, sometimes stronger and sometimes less, you need to cross the bridge and then turn right and up into the mountains. It's a great walkway, not too difficult, but it can get hot during the summer, walking along the steep mountain walls.

Virgin River view with the huge Zion Park Canyon in the background. There are times when the river is wild and overflowing, but this day was sunny and calm. A real pleasure.
