I was hoping for clear blue skies as clouds normally make for a grey picture, but these clouds were dramatic looking and letting the sun come through. These were good clouds!<br /><br />Charlie6 – I was really sorry to hear about Natasha, but I have since read that the patient is getting better in Golden!<br /><br />Dave – Yes I did check out that view. I really enjoyed hearing the noise of my bike in the tunnel – I gave it an extra few revs just for the heck of it. Actually an extra few thousand revs!<br /><br />Beemer / Lori – I was very lucky in Zion, for while I had to discard many dull looking pictures, I was lucky enough to get a few really good ones!<br /><br />Bob – I shared the road and buses with way too many other people. It was very crowded, but despite that, it is a stunning place. There was quite a lot of road construction happening, meaning many of the turnouts were closed, so stopping was a challenge!<br /><br />Oz – I had to climb a long way up a steep sandstone slope to get those goat pictures. Coming back down was slippery and a little scary!<br /><br />mq01 – Thanks!<br /><br />Eve – Thank you!<br /><br />George – Thanks. It is funny that when I was taking the pictures I wasn’t at all sure if they would be any good. The hotel is at the southern end of Springdale. Zion is a spectacular setting for taking pictures and I was lucky that the weather played its part.Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-37352159019005841112010-10-27T02:30:23.829+01:002010-10-27T02:30:23.829+01:00I love all the pictures but the second and third p...I love all the pictures but the second and third pictures are just amazing :-) I loved driving through the tunnel too, the park is just amazing. I just drove through though, didn't have much time to explore. I'm going to keep the picture of the hotel so when I go back I will look for that hotel :-)GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254196892811043203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-59947213239790294912010-10-25T23:46:12.559+01:002010-10-25T23:46:12.559+01:00I think you've outdone yourself Gary!

As the saying goes, experiencing the bad makes the good that much sweeter. The pictures are wonderful! Love the goat, but also love low clouds below the mountains near the hotel.

It only goes back 10 miles and ends. Nice view there too.<br /><br />I love that tunnel. I know, sounds stupid but it reminds me of riding down a coal mine shaft.<br /><br />Very nice. I have taken a zillion pictures of that place and your pictures are putting mine to shame.
