ONE OF MY FAVORITE TIMES OF THE YEAR



Zion from the Virgin Road.

This looks like Kolob from New Harmony, but it's not.

See what I mean..........

Aspens just before you get to Kolob Reservoir.

Just before the Kanarra Mountain turnoff.

More.................

Quakies up on top................

Up by the "C" in right hand canyon.

Looking down into Greens Lake Subdivision.

On top of Cedar Mountain.

Parowan 1st right hand canyon.

First Right Hand Canyon in Parowan.

For two days this week, John and I went on the mountain to look at the beautiful leaves. On Monday, we headed over to Parowan to take some photos of headstones in the Cemetery for the Find A Grave Program. Then we went up to first right hand canyon and took some beautiful photos of mostly red leaves. We came down out of there and then went on up Parowan Canyon to Brianhead and up to Brianhead Peak and took some photos there. Then we took the road over to the Mammoth Road, past Schoppmans cabin, and took it to the road down Cedar Canyon. What a beautiful ride. We were going to go up right hand canyon, but had to get to Harmony to pick the garden for the last time before it freezes, so we went straight to Harmony. The next day, after John bottled tomatoes, we went up Right Hand Canyon and kept going over to Kolob Reservoir and went past there and down into the town of Virgin. I don't remember going down that road before. The views of Zion are so fantastic that I must say, it is even better than being in Zion Park. Anyway, two fun days of riding and taking photos. It is kind of fun having John retired. We are having a blast!!

Claudine, we have family in the parowan cemetery also. We went up last year and got some pics of the headstones hoping to keep on collecting the family history that we need. Love all the posts Vicki
