Zion National Park - Angel's Landing

Zion National Park, a photo by upsurge99 on Flickr.

It was raining when we started our climb up to Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. At one point, there was even lightning. Given that Angel's Landing is 1500 ft above the floor of the canyon, that might have been a good time to turn back, but I am glad we didn't. It was still raining all the way up, but on the way back, the clouds disappeared. I took this picture on the way back, from inside a side valley looking out to the main Zion canyon. I like how graceful the silhouette of the tree is against the Navajo sandstone cliffs.
