Day 16 – October 21st – Zion National Park

OMG it really IS that beautiful!

On the way, here’s Red Canyon…

Got there!

The approach to the Zion -Mt. Carmel Tunnel – first…checkerboard mesa…

The scenery just keeps getting better and better…

At the tunnel entrance where all traffic gets halted so I can pass through the CENTER where there’s just enough clearance….!

Going through the tunnel…

AND THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU EMERGE!

Here’s where I came from… the mouth of the tunnel…

And as you turn to the left, this is what you see…

It’s simply, breathtaking…

One last photo…there are just too many to share…

Sigh…I could spend days, even weeks exploring just this one park. But tomorrow, it’s

ON TO THE GRAND CANYON!
