Autumn in Zion

On our recent camping trip, we took our friends on one of my favorite hikes.  I particularly like this hike in the Fall, because it allows me to experience the vibrant colors of my childhood autumns in Northern Utah.  As my friend pointed out, you don't expect to see maple and oak in the desert.  I especially love the contrast with our blue, blue sky; the red rocks of the canyon; the white sand and the green of the pine trees.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from this year and previous years:
