Zion National Park, September 2001

During the summer of 2001, Rachelle and I took a vacation to visit National Parks and Monuments in Utah and Arizona. The first park we visited was Bryce Canyon National Park.

The second stop on our vacation was Zion National Park. After visiting the Zion Canyon Visitor Center, we boarded a tram to take the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. Our first stop was the Court of the Patriarchs Viewpoint, which provides an excellent site to see the three mountains named for the Old Testament patriarchs, Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
