Zion Photo:  Observation Point

The summit of the Observation Point Trail.  Marvelous views of Zion Canyon can be seen along much of this this
hike as well as at the view point at the end of the trail. The lofty Angels Landing monolith is seen from the top of
Observation Point (6508') with Cathedral Mountain peeking behind. If you have hiked Angels Landing you will be amazed
at how much higher you are (517') when standing at Observation Point. Angels Landing looks tiny from the perspective of
Observation Point. The Virgin River is seen below forming Big Bend as it flows around the Organ, Angels Landing and the
fin that connect the two.
