John visited the Parowan Gap petroglyphs on Saturday. The one below is called The Zipper and is a kind of sundial that marks the location of the sunrise and sunset at various times of the year in Parowan Gap.
We took a chairlift to the 11,000-foot peak at Brian Head (a ski resort), where we found snow patches and colorful alpine wildflowers. It was a great long hike back down to the resort.
On Sunday, we visited Cedar Breaks National Monument (below), which offered breathtaking views of red clay pinnacles in a natural ampitheater 2,500-feet deep and three miles across created by wind and water erosion of the Markagunt Plateau.
