Morning light
Crossing the Virgin River at the Grotto
Junction, heading up
Relative solitude
Angel's Landing from the valley floor
Soaking up the morning sun
Winding around the corner on the paved section
South down the valley
Pausing at a switchback
And now for the fun part
Try not to fall, please
Steep drop-off, with helpful chain
Peeking up river
Touchstone Wall
Zion Lodge
South valley view
Selfies out on the point
Road toward Temple of Sinawava
Beige, orange, and red
Full south-facing panorama
Taking in the views
Looking for anyone who fell
Sandstone coloration
Victory poses
Vulture cruising the thermals
Incoming clouds
North-facing pose
Circling the trail
A well-fed chipmunk
Non-threatening clouds
One more at the turnaround spot
Winding river
Sliver of trail
Looking back at Angel's Landing
Green dots
Red section
Clinging on in the shade
More Indian paintbrush
Vertical flowers
Prepping for the bike ride
Swapping out gear
Mule deer
Taking refuge from the rain
Glad I brought the raincoat
Bridge leading to the Emerald Pools
Water trickling over the edge
Not-so-emerald Emerald Pools
Behind the waterfall
Trail closed, due to rockslide
A momentary but welcome break in the rain
Dark stains from water
New tent, proving it is indeed watertight
Wet campsite
