A pano of the Lava Point trail at Zion

[Bart Carrig]

I recently posted a couple images of Kolob Terrace and that "island" type structure along the Lava Point Trail. I just processed an old pano I took of the area, to give a little more perspective. It does warrant a little more investigation next time I go there.

In the pano, the "island" is to the far left. The trail eventually becomes or merges with the West Rim trail before connecting with the Angel's Landing trail.

Very nice and a ver different view of Zion.

Not a part of Zion I have personally visited so thanks for sharing the view. I can't say I have seen a lot of images from this point of view.

 

[Eric Nelson]

I never knew Zion looked like this, thanks for the education.

This is a very cool Pano Bart! I haven't been up in that area, I will have to go there sometime.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Nice view. Looks tilted left to me.

Jim: I didn't spend a lot of time on the processing, I was primarily interested in providing context for the earlier image. That said, I knew way back when I took the picture there was an odd appearance, as the background did drop to the left. Then there's a conflicting alignment of the tops of the peaks. If I decide to print (the lighting wasn't the greatest, as it was mid-morning by the time we hiked by), I'll spend more time on the alignment.

It's a cool hike, I've done it twice, and next time I'll camp, so I'll have a chance for better light, and time to explore.

Thanks,

Bart

Striking image, Bart, of some very striking landscape!

 

[Jeffrey]

Fascinating image, Bart. Doesn't look like there's any easy way to get across those huge gaps. but you are on top of the world there.

 

[Mike Mancil]

A wild and wooly topography, good shot.

 

[Bart Carrig]

Jeffrey, you're right for most of it. But I think the flat area to the far left may be accessible through the brush you can barely see in the bottom left corner. It would be a big challenge, with great reward. Isn't that the way we like it?

[Jeffrey]

Yes!

A unique view Bart, thanks sharing! The pano works superbly.

Great perspective Bart, my first thought was "What big country" All those "ants" below looking for the shot...
