Oh beautiful, expansive Zion. How i do love the new level of peace and quiet I was introduced to in my first visit to one of Utah’s National Parks.
As you can see from the image, Zion’s immense scope dwarfs anything manmade. Check out the vehicles that are swallowed up by the scenery. On the left hand side… that’s a Jeep Wrangler- have you ever stood next to a Jeep Wrangler? I mean they aren’t small vehicles by any means and just look at how teeny it is!
And speaking of that Jeep- whenever a car drove past me it was one of the only times the serene landscape soundtrack was interrupted. The majority of the day we enjoyed the breeze tickling the trees, birds chirping and humming a nest-building tune, ground dwelling reptiles and mammals scurrying to their next destination, the occasional small stream cutting through the ground, a hiker discussing their next move and the familiar click of cameras and cell phones trying to capture the complete awe the is Mother Nature.
