Gordon Smith  > Landscapes > Utah > Zion
Zion National Park is close to my heart and home. I live only a 40-minute drive from Zion National Park and find my way over there many times a year: for a monring hike, an overnight campout, a day-trip, and sunrises (my favorite!). I feel extremely fortunate to have this beautiful place so assessible. Some of the great places pictured here include: Tower of the Virgin, Zion Narrows, Subway hike, Kolob terraces, Kolob Arch, Spry Canyon, and several other unnamed but spectacular sites. Because I go there so often, there are several pictures from several areas in this park. The park is very large. More recent pictures are near the beginning.

Please see the Subway Canyoneering Hike report and pictures for this particular section of Zion and the adventurous trip that it is.

Gordon Smith > The crack.  This is a fascinating and beautiful small feature.
Gordon Smith > Subway pools.  Surreal and peaceful.
Gordon Smith > The Subway just above the "Shower Room"
Gordon Smith > Near the beginning of the Subway Canyon.
Gordon Smith > The subway trail required a bit of swimming at times.  This was deep and cold.  I had to have my waterproof backpack for my camera equipment.  I put all my equipment in the backpack and had to drop it 8 feet into the water below.  Then I had to climb down using a rope into the deep water.  And then it's time to swim under the rock you see stuck between the canyon walls!

Gordon Smith > A golden grotto near Kolob arch.
Gordon Smith > Closer view of Kolob Arch.  This shot was taken with a 90-mm tilt shift lens.  3 exposures were stitched together to give great detail in the Canyon wall just underneath the arch.
Gordon Smith > Kolob arch, the largest in the world, is massive to see in person. It takes about 8 to 9 miles one way to hike into this beautiful arch. The hike out is uphill and very tiring. Fortunately, La Verkin Creek is nearby and available for a cooling dip before beginning the uphill climb.
Gordon Smith > The drive into Kolob Canyon can be spectacular.
Gordon Smith > Orderville Canyon.  This is three shots with a 24mm tilt shift lens that were stitched together.
Gordon Smith > The Zion Narrows, world famous, are worth the hike into the canyon.  This bend in the river was a great place to stop and have a snack while seeing the river pass by.
Gordon Smith > South Temple as seen from the Spry Canyon hike (quite a stenuous hike!).
Gordon Smith > Low rainclouds over the South temple.
The crack. This is a fascinating and beautiful small feature.
