This was a day I was more interested in hiking than photography. I took this picture after hiking up a side canyon from East Zion. I hiked this same canyon the previous day, and turned back after I realized the canyon wouldn't end any time soon. On this day, I returned and hiked all the way to the top, and had to climb hand over hand up loose, dislodged slate rock. This photo looks back towards the road, which is at the bottom of the canyon and out of sight.

Once I made it to the top, I realized I was on Deer Trap Mountain, which is a large plateau linking East Zion to the Main Canyon. I walked across the top, which was still covered in snow in most places. Here you can see what remains from the Park Service-induced controlled burn, forest fire which took place on the first day we started our 365 Days in Zion project.
