Fog-Shrouded Zion Canyon

Heavy rains within the confines of Zion National Park in Utah produced these fog shrouded images of the canyon as seen from the Weeping Rock location, under the rock rim overhang. These images look west just after noon MDT on Wednesday, September 11, 2013. About 30 minutes after these pictures were taken, a violent deluge of water blasted out over the overhang (foreground, above), the effect of flash flooding emanating from the rock face above.
