Deer Trap Mtn and Right Fork in Zion (Sep 2007)

Probably the best overall views anywhere in Zion is atop of Deer Trap Mountain. Mike Burkley and I scrambled up a brushy steep chute from the second tunnel in order to top out on the plateau and hike to the viewpoints.



Towards the southwest. West Temple in distance.












Towards the south. East Zion and Parunaweap in the distance.











Interesting sand sculpture in front of Double Falls (a hike one week earlier).















Mountain of the Sun















One of five bighorn sheep we spooked on the hike out. They ran straight up a cliff away from us.
