Great Hike in Zion Park

I enjoyed hiking in Zion National Park over the weekend, soaking in the sunshine while we hunted down ancient Native American rock art. We did find great petroglyphs. Along the way we enjoyed seeing wildflowers in full bloom, and we had fun playing in a waterfall on Pine Creek.

We managed to take some great photos, which you can see by clicking on the links below.

Deertrap rock art, located near the top of the pass between Deertrap Mountain and East Temple, approached via Pine Creek. About 1 mile from the road, up steep slickrock.

Petroglyph Canyon rock art, located just north of Hwy 9 on the east side of the park.

Zion wildflowers. Blooms were approaching their peak when we visited on 5-10. Should be impressive for a few more weeks.

Pine Creek waterfall photos. Located about .5 miles above the bridge where Hwy 9 crosses Pine Creek, just below the switchbacks that lead to the tunnel.
