Double Arch Alcove.

[Ben Egbert]

An easy 3 mile hike along Taylor Creek in the Kolob Canyon section of Zion NP.

Very dramatic formation, but very confined relative to it's size. Even an ultrawide lens could not include it all.

CC welcome.

I think you did a nice job framing this scene. Great colors too.

I would not known of the larger size of the subject without the narrative - this is a nicely framed shot as Kyle mentioned and looks good.

Very pretty, Ben. It looks like there might be a waterfall after a heavy rainfall. I'll bet it would be even more spectacular then.

Very nice Ben. I like the look of this, and I like Dougs thinking that there could be a waterfall there if its raining.

 

[Martín el Escocés]

Nice shot which brings to the fore many of the elements that make Zion so great. I love the double arch feature here.

There probably is a waterfall there during rain, but this trail crosses Taylor Creek several times so it could be a problem.

Zion is a special place, and the Kolob Canyon is far less crowded than the main area. No camping though and even motels are a long way off.

Now that's an impressive hunk of rock. Good job capturing this.

I remember visiting this area a long time ago and I couldn't come close to getting it all in with the camera equipment I had at the time. It is such a massive alcove and you did a great job of capturing it.

Thanks Mike, it is impressive, but you don't see a lot of images from here.

Thanks Guy, I think you need to have some climbing gear and climb the wall behind the arch so you can get a straight on shot and not be pointing the camera upward.

Very nice, spectacular color in the rocks.
