Northgate Peaks end of trail views, (North Guardian on right)

Crossing the Virgin River to a trail less traveled along/above Birch Creek, with magnificent views,

between the Court of Patriarchs and the Sentinel, up towards the nearly dry Twin Falls

Another less traveled canyon where Oak Creek flows--with an alternate awesome viewpoint

A shot out the shuttle window (left); Sand Bench Trail views (right)

Pa'rus Trail hugs the Virgin River and crosses it several times

These handsome critters stopped and posed for me

Pa'rus Trail ends (or begins) at Canyon Junction, see the Spring flowers along this trail

Notice above and left, the East Rim & Hidden Canyon Trails

Angel's Landing looks like a step-stool from here

Hoodoos atop the Great White Throne

somewhat less challenging than East Rim Trail

Can see a little snow up on Kolob
View over Secret Canyon

Just when I thought I had the best views from Observation Point...Deer Trap Mt tops it all!

Over 2500 feet above Zion Lodge (only a 10-mile RT moderate hike)
