This is still outside Zion. We went on a great hike just before we went through the tunnel that takes you into Zion Canyon. There was really interesting terrain and rocks (!) along this pretty easy and very popular hike. At the top we had amazing views down into the side canyon that leads into Zion.

Part of the reason I like this image is because the coloration and pattern are so different from most of what we saw. The curvilinear shapes feel very organic and the contrast is heightened by the warm colored sand sifted into the cracks. It reminds me of the view out the window of an airplane.
