I have been to this park before. Maybe even more than once or twice...

A few from a trip last year...
Good choice Jim, one of my favorite parks.
Looks like the watchman from the bridge and behind the museum shots are staples on this thread.
Some textures to post something different.

All sweet shots Kyle, your first one really is striking!

I do like the textures - but I have a funny feeling you've got a bridge shot too...

Wow - what a great series, as my wife and I are off to all 5 UT NPs at the end of September, and Zion is one of the ones we will be visiting for the first time! I cannot wait for the trip, and seeing all these fantastic images is certainly not making it any easier Very inspirational stuff - thanks Jim for getting this thread going.
Now we just need threads on the other 4 parks before I leave for my trip!

that snow is sure a nice addition Eric.
Hey Zeph, and funny enough I have quite a few backcountry shots in Zion, but I have never shot from the bridge. Go figure...Big topic.
I've not had the fortune of the Zion back country, hope to get there, there are so many opportunities.
You guys don't mind if I squeeze in here on the bridge.
Hey Mike, well at least we have Zion off your list! We did do a Friday's Focus on Utah a few months back, so you could find some of the other National Parks there.Wow - what a great series, as my wife and I are off to all 5 UT NPs at the end of September, and Zion is one of the ones we will be visiting for the first time!

Be sure to let us know you general itinerary before you leave, there is a good chance to meet up while you are on the road too. A bunch of us will be not too far from there. It's only a hop, skip and a jump from Colorado over to Utah.

As expected some outstanding shots already presented here. There sure was a lot of water in the Subway when you were there Kyle. Those last shots are beautiful Jeffery! I've seen that slot before, but forgot where it is.
For many years, starting back in the mid 70s when I went to the University of Utah, Zion was my favorite park due to the wild climbing on it's huge cliffs. Since I've retired and started returning in the fall for hiking and photography I still love the views, but not the crowds.

Jeffrey, I really agree with you about hunting the intimate spots. When I go somewhere famous, for at least the first time, I do try and capture the iconic views. But I really prefer those images that show off areas lesser know and lesser seen by visitors. You did a fantastic job of that.
