This is what we saw in our yard when we woke up on the first day of 2015:
We rushed to Zion NP to admire, enjoy and share with you:
This was on one of the first days of May. The spring here was wonderful, the main factor being the temperature- it was not too hot. Well, except some 4 days in the middle of May which caused some people heat rashes. But the beginning of May was fantastic and a group of locals as well as some visitors collected for a trip on the upper part of Zion NP. We parked the cars on the right hand side of the road approximately half way from the tunnel to the East entrance and proceeded down to the dry wash. And then up and towards a pass in between two red typical Zion peaks. Here is how it all looked:
Lines of Zion…
Towards the pass…
Our group on the pass:
A small stream on the way down to the other side of the pass towards the Big Hole:
Still not the Big Hole, but a small one…
At last – here is she!
On top of the Hole we had our lunch:
The leaders of the group – Adrian and Delores. Adrian’s way of getting his water during the trip…
Here is how our Zion National Park looked this winter. It is usually like that every winter, except that this winter we had a lot of snow. While I am writing this it is already 28th of March and I can still see snow powder on the slopes of Mountain. But the pictures were taken not now, but at different times in December and February. Here is the entrance to the park and the main scenic drive:
We were so happy to catch that beam of sun on the edge of the mountain:
Virgin River by the Temple of Sinawawa:
There were some bright colored ducks swimming in the river:
As every temple the Temple of Sinawawa it has an altar and a pulpit:
There was much more snow in February and those are a couple of views on the top part of the park – the Canyon Overlook trail:
