After the storm from the previous day cleared, Zion was once again filled with beautiful blue skies and snow capped peaks. I returned to the main canyon, and liked the silhouette that frames the cliffs of main canyon.

After spending time in Zion this rainy day, I was rewarded by a beautiful rainbow in front of the Alter of Sacrifice.
Day 125: January 28, 2005 - Zion Canyon
by Christian Williams
I enjoyed spending time walking through the main canyon of Zion today. I strolled through the meadow and stopped to take some photos of the mountains looming ahead.
Day 92: December 26, 2004 - Zion Panorama
I went camping in the Coal Pits Wash area, which affords beautiful views of Zion from a different perspective. This panorama shows the back side of the cliffs which make up the main canyon of Zion, a spectacular and awe-inspiring sight.
Day 65: November, 29 2004 - Moon Over Zion
One of the great sights of Zion is when you are coming down the switchbacks from east Zion into the main canyon and you see this magnificent wall of mountains, West Temple, Towers of the Virgin, and the Altar of Sacrifice. This scene was especially great today as the full moon from the night before was setting behind these cliffs. I used my 500mm lens, to get a great close-up of these iconic peaks, which had the effect of enlarging the moon against the backdrop of the mountains.
Day 59: November 23, 2004 - Break in the Clouds
This morning was foggy and cloudy in the park, which is always interesting weather for pictures. As I set up to take this photo, the clouds broke, revealing the brilliant blue sky, and providing excellent light on the West Temple and Altar of Sacrifice in the background.
