Zion ~ The Sentinal, Bee Hive and Meridian Towery From Above

in photography •  7 years ago 

This is a very unique image of Zion National Park from above, in the immediate foreground are The Sentinal, Bee Hive and Meridian Tower. 

In the background lay Church Mesa, This Bishopric, Abraham Peak, Isaac Peak, Jacob Peak, Mountain of the Sun, Mt. Moroni, Mt. Zion, the Three Patriarchs and Castle Dome.  

The long trench looking valley going vertically up the center of this image is called the Phantom Valley.  

In the distance you can see the Kolob Terrace along with Langston Mountain, Hornet Point, Little Mountain, Hogs Heaven and Cogswell Point. 

Zion National Park is an amazing place from the ground and is even more incredible from the air.   How it got its name and the names of the various geologic formations throughout the park is an interesting read you can check out here.

I lensed this image while flying throughout the wilderness surrounding the Zion area. This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.  

Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.  

If you are interested in helping with this project I would love to have your assistance! 

Please consider upvoting and then resteemit so that others may experience these wondrous places as well.  

Yehaw!!
