    Zion in Winter

    Was over in Zion National Park this weekend. Here are some pics with my USA Kilts Firefighter Memorial tartan in semi-trad.


    The Virgin River Narrows are just behind me.


    A little farther down river.


    An old cottonwood the river toppled during the recent floods.


    And the pleat shot


    Near the East Entrance to Zion


    And the pleat shot


    Also picked up a new Rockville - Springdale Fire Department t-shirt to add to my collection to go with my Firefighter Memorial kilt.

    Grafton Ghost Town

    The ghost town of Grafton, Utah is just down river from Zion. Some of the scenes from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were filmed there.


    One of the preserved homes in Grafton.

    great pics Ron, always loved the Westerns with say James Stewart, John Wayne who always featured in terrain such as in your pics. Would love to be there and experience the majesty of it all.
    I've been to the USA several times but always to either the east or west coast, really want to experience your part of the US of A

    Ahhh, thanks Ron. I needed that. Makes me warm to remember.
    This ol' cowgirl from the West is freezing her "Mule" off in Maine these days.
    Zion and Canyon de chey (sorry about the spelling) are my favorites and I have seen most all of em'.
    It has warmed UP to 18 degrees and snowing again and all day long I have been talking about moving to Arizona and listening to Beach Boys trying to survive January.
    nice kilt, and as usual it looks great with the surroundings.
