From the iconic arches and vibrant red rocks, to the expansive desert landscapes and sand dunes, the mountains, and the rivers, it has all the colors in God’s Art Studio that are just stunning to witness.
With its immense red and white sandstone cliffs that reach out of the forested river bed to the brilliant blue of the sky, Zion Utah is a Southwest USA wonder.
The colors of the massive domes, towering cliffs, twisting canyons, arches, and bridges change with the light, moving from deep reds to pastel pinks, sunburnt orange, soft yellows, and whites.
We were blown away by the spectacular Snow Canyon hikes we did, particularly the Petrified Sand Dunes trail, and our kids got a good visual and understanding of how they were once sand and the wind ripples were soon frozen into rock.
It’s close to the entrance of the Islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands and we incorporated it into our visit there whilst staying in Moab. Pack a picnic, find a comfy spot on the rim, pour yourself a glass of wine or two (non-drivers), and enjoy one of nature’s greatest gifts.
