The Stark Beauty of Zion National Park

One of the wonderful things about hiking Zion is to move between sharply different terrains from woods to more desert like conditions. In reviewing some of my iPhone pictures this morning, some of those desert shots stood out for their dry, stark beauty.

These shots were on the top of the Sentinel trail on a 100 degree day while hiking with my son Jack. It was glorious. Here are a couple more shots of the dry vegetation.
