SECRET COLORADO

7 - Zion Nat. Park

(September 29 - October 20, 2014)

(See map and practical information here)


I know : Zion National Park is not in Colorado - but we went through it,
and found a secret place...

At the Park East entrance, a buffalo farm

 

We were looking for a quiet place,which we found at Lava Point (7890 ft = 2405 m), North of the Park, very far from crowds...

 

Along the road, the characteristic red rocks


 

 

What a good idea, having used for the road
a coating of the same color as the rocks !

 







From the edge of the Lava Point cliff (7890 ft = 2405 m), a 100 yards from the campground, the view is breathtaking

 

 

 

 

 

Only 6 campsites (free camping at this time of year) : rather quiet !
We were only disturbed by the mule deers...

 

Close to Lava Point, on the road to Blue Spring Reservoir
