This morning we traveled over to the eastern end of Zion National Park in the area of Checkerboard Mesa, stopping to make a couple of images of this often photographed solitary tree that clings to the side of the sandstone.

While driving in the area, Joe noticed something moving quickly in the distance.  As we drove closer, we came upon a small group of Bighorn Sheep, a rare sighting in Zion.  There are less than a hundred of these sheep currently in the park so we took advantage of the opportunity to photograph them on the hillside.

This afternoon we photographed along a stream searching out more intimate scenes. In the morning we leave Zion to head towards Page, Arizona.
