Zions

They say that the canyon is changing everyday and that eventually these huge rock formations, (a lot of which set world wide records), will be reduced to the sand which they came from. Future generations will not be hiking in Zions they will be riding ATV's in the sand dunes.


Weeping Rock - Is a short hike, it is only 1/2 mile round trip, but it is steep and uphill the whole way. The weeping comes from above, in Echo Canyon. The constant weeing makes these beautiful hanging gardens and lots of moss which I have a fascination with.
The Three Patriarchs - Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
The sun was in my way, so I couldn't get a picture of Mount Moroni which is right next door.



We saw tons of Mule deer. They are not the prettiest deer but I have never seen baby deer before, so that was fun.


The Flora and Fauna in Zions was so pretty, these looked like petunias except that the flower was as big as a softball.
