A couple days ago, The US National Park Service celebrated its 100th year. Although many parks receive significant traffic, there are still parts of those parks where one can stretch out a little. The east side of Zion NP is one of those spots.
Most visitors to Zion want to see the main canyon and places like Angel’s Landing and The Narrows. As they head up the winding road and through the spectacular tunnels on the way out the east exit, many are on their way to either Bryce or Grand Canyon. There are a couple pullouts along this stretch of road, but few spend time here. Here’s a sample of the features on the upper east side.

Agreed – one of those places worth setting aside and preserving for future generations. I think I enjoy the sections away from the main canyon because of their wilderness feel.

Thanks, John! Nature has done an excellent job of sculpting here. The only help we need to offer is keeping our impact to a minimum.
