Up Among The Angels

Terri and I fell in love with Zion National Park the first time we visited there in the early 80's when we traveled to the visit Bryce, Zion and the Grand Canyon National Parks. We revisited Zion again in 2008 and over the last several months I have been busy reworking many of the images again in my digital darkroom. I hope you enjoy some of my more recent Zion updates.

This image of Terri and I is from Observation Point. A hike I would recommend if you get the chance. It is takes the better part of the day but it is worth it not just for the views at the top but for the interesting landscape all the way to the top.

Another very popular hike in Zion is one Terri and I did when we first visited Zion. It is called Angels Landing. I think because you need Angels on each side of you as you get near the top! Here is a picture of the trail leading to Angels Landing. As you approach the top of Angels Landing it gets even more exposed with a narrow trail to top with some handrails to help you.

These words from Psalm 138 I read recently seem very appropriate to close this out with!

"in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise; I will worship at you holy temple and give thanks to your name."

"though I walk in the midst of dangers, you guard my life when my enemies rage. You stretch out your hand; your right hand saves me."
