Canyon Overlook - Zion National Park

By now you know that Zion National Park is one of the most amazing places that I have ever been to. There are so many things about Zion that I could write about. It is really hard to pick out just a few to put on my blog. The last place in Zion that I want to talk about is the Canyon Overlook Trail. We did this hike on our first evening in Zion. It's a pretty easy hike, and the view from the top is really incredible. We watched the sun go down and the moon rise. It was a great way to end our first day.

 When you get to the top of Canyon Overlook, you are standing on the very top of the above structure. Notice the natural arch in the picture. This picture is taken from the road right before going though the Mt. Carmel Tunnel.

 Of course, there were many opportunities for great pictures on the Canyon Overlook trail.

It was fun to climb to the top of this rock and get some fun pictures as the moon was rising.

  1. I like the picture of you holding the moon :)Very creative idea. When i was at Devils tower i tried getting a picture of me "Holding Devils Tower" but it was just way to big of a structure! lol

  2. It was fun to do. It was my father-in-law's idea, but we all took turns trying it.
