Hot Colors on a Sub-Zero Morning
As the morning sun clears the opposite rim of the canyon behind me, the Towers and the Temples of the Virgin seem to light on fire before the lens.
I wish that warm colors would have reflected some sort of heat, but it was actually around 20°F with strong, gusty winds when I took this photo.
The Narrows in Zion National Park seems to get all of the attention from hikers and photographers, and I can absolutely understand why, but for many, the strenuous hike, through the cold, rocky Virgin River may be daunting. My advice is not to let that deter you from visiting Zion - especially in the winter - there is an amazing diversity in color, texture, and feel throughout the park, and it is well worth a visit.
