Road to Zion

The road that connects to Zion from the east is stupendous. It was made in the 20s to dazzle visitors on their way to the new park (before it was a national park.) It runs along cliffs and through mountains right in the middle of these wild geological formations. There is a set of switchbacks that drop you more than 1500 feet and give you this dazzling view across huge mountains and cliffs, all multicolored. No way I could get pictures there. The temperature is 20 degrees warmer than Bryce.
