Zion National Park

This is second time I've visited Zion National Park. More accurately second time to main route in Zion NP. Zion has three routes and I have no ideas about the other two. I did not have chances to touch one of most beautiful parts of Zion -- Zion Narrow which is a 6 - 9 miles trail. This trail is along, or in the little river in the valley,  The mountains squeezes the valley into tunnel and people walk in stream water on the trail. That's one reason why I did not walk on the trail. It was December when I first time visited Zion. The water in Dec and March are from melt snow, very cold. You could feel the cold when you go near the little river. So from my heart I don't think I really know Zion National Park very much. I'm just a normal visitor.
Hope you will enjoy my photos. Thanks!

沙發！I visited Zion many years ago, and took quite a few non-digital pictures.

氣派！好圖！

勾起了我美好的回憶，跟兩貼，遺憾我也沒能去Zion Narrow

Nice shots. Thanks. It seems that you were there in Summer. The best time is Fall when the leaves turn yellow and with the red rock as the background....

nice!~

Thanks but I'm curious about your web name, "Dao3 Mei2 Dan4"? What made you to take such name if my understanding was right?

壯觀的大自然，一股悲愴的感覺！夠氣派！！！

我倒是秋天去的，可照的不咋地。


到這附近我們就回來了，前邊就是Zion Narrow?

Yes, Zion Narrow starts at end of Riverwalk.
I guess it was late Fall when you were at Zion. Probably a little bit earlier would be much better?

有氣勢！

Yes, it was late fall or early winter, but the park was still very pretty, as you said there are many trees with yellow leaves,  with back ground of red mountains and small river...very pretty. It might be prettier in early fall. The issue was on my side, i did not expect the sun light went away so quick! When i saw good views, i thought i could take pictures when we came back, but when we were on the way back, the light became dim. My skill of taking picture is not good either, So..

I had exactly the same feeling when taking these photos. Thanks!

That's why people say photography is always an art of "if I did that way then..."

I did the same way sometimes.

俺也曾去過，不過同行者喜歡hiking, 沒能見到那麼美的景色
