Another Panorama in Zion Canyon, Zion National Park, Utah 2022

Details best viewed in Original Size.

If the idea of looking up at overwhelming sandstone cliffs stained in the reds and oranges of iron oxide thrills you, then Zion Canyon is the place for you. From the moment you enter the park to the moment you reach “The Narrows”, and beyond, the visitor is confronted by such cliffs on both sides of the master architect of the canyon – the Virgin River.
Zion National Park is located in southwestern Utah near the town of Springdale. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile (590 km2) park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to 2,640 ft (800 m) deep. The canyon walls are reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone eroded by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest point in the park is 3,666 ft (1,117 m) at Coalpits Wash and the highest peak is 8,726 ft (2,660 m) at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park has a unique geography and a variety of life zones that allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bats), and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches.
This panorama was constructed using Photoshop CS6 to stitch together horizontally two landscape-oriented images.
