The view from my absolute favorite spot in Zion National Park, looking down on the #vibrant valley floor.

#BlueSkyArtShow
Panoramic view from Observation Point in Zion National Park, looking out over towering red and cream sandstone cliffs, deep canyons, and the winding Virgin River far below. The dramatic vista includes Angels Landing in the distance, framed by a vast sky and desert vegetation in the foreground.

National Park tip: if you visit Capitol Reef NP in spring or early summer, get one of the famous fresh-baked fruit pies at the orchard. 🥧

We losing so many birds to bird flu. And the bald eagles keep eating them so I’ve already accepted we’ll be losing our nesting pair at this lake. 😭😭

Want to feel like you can “do something”?

Help protect ground hogs like these marmots by helping out the National Parks Foundation.

Donate if you can, volunteer if you’re able, and tell everyone you know about this organization:
