Canyon Overlook Trail End, Zion NP 2014

(1 in a multiple picture album)

One of the easier trails in Zion National Park is the Canyon Overlook Trail. You find the trail head at the parking lot on the east end of the tunnel on Utah Highway 9 (Mt. Carmel Road).

(Enlarge the picture and check out the windy road in the canyon below.) This is the view you will be rewarded with when you reach the end of the line.

On the horizon are many formations which have interesting names but my favorite is "The Altar of Sacrifice". You can spot it in the middle. It is the one with 'blood' running down the face of it.
