Zion National Park

This panoramic photograph of Zion National Park was taken by James Blakeway and features one of the many spectacular views offered in the park. This view features Lower Zion Canyon and Pine Creek Canyon with Bridge Mountain at the left. The flat-topped butte in the distance is West Temple. To its right are the Towers of the Virgin, which include the Sundial and the Alter of Sacrifice. Mukuntuweap National Monument was expanded in 1919 as Zion National Park to preserve the stunning scenery and sandstone cliffs that are among the highest in the world.
