Observation Point, Zion National Park c/o Randy Stetz Images

Please “like” my new Facebook page, (click here). Our first day in Zion we tried to get passes to The Narrows, alas it was flooded out.  Cable Mountain was our second choice, but we decided to do Observation Point instead.  At the trailhead we forged straight up 2100 feet, taking advantage of the cool, overcast morning while our coffee was still coarsing through our veins.   The clouds proved fortuitous in that they made for dramatic photography.  Up top we had our sandwiches and enjoyed the 360 degree views of Zion Canyon.  The way down was hotter, but easier, albeit rough and blistering on our toes.  Thank God for moleskin.
