Zion Canyon National Park, Utah, USA, 23rd October 2014.

This is dawn at Springdale, Utah, just outside Zion Canyon National Park but looking towards it.

Later, after breakfast, we headed off towards Bryce Canyon National Park.   The road, still inside Zion Canyon National Park, was a twisting wonderland, with tunnels and not many places to park a vehicle.  Wonderful views abounded (when not inside the tunnels) with vistas and canyons and autumn colours.

Most of these images are from walking in small canyons beside the road though some are from the road.

Here are layers and layers of rock laid down over the millenia as sand dunes turned to sandstone.

Further on, outside the National Park, we came to a farm with some strange-looking cattle – well, bison actually.
