The hills and mountains on the east side of Zion are called "slick rock". They look like gigantic mud piles! Or, Shulmpy cupcake frosting.
This one is called "Checkerboard Mesa"
It seems that mountain goats hang out on checkerboard on a regular basis. We decided that they are assigned shifts so that they will always be there for animal seeking tourists.
Right after going thru the mile long scary tunnel, we stumbled on a slot canyon within its first 10,000 years of formation.
Gary's favorite "Mountain Woman"
This hike was just opposite the tunnel and had some pretty hairy look downs!
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park--Just outside of Zion is really fascinating.
Lots of movies filmed here. Also new generation sports.
They rent sand boards and sand sled as well as ATV's at this 3700acre park where Dune Buggy trails are the main event. This little girl is about Kaias age and this was her first time. It actually slides quite slowly.
