Nature's Tapestry - Zion National Park Pin

Nature's Tapestry by Debra Martz Along the Riverwalk Trail in Zion National Park, one will find several areas where the lower canyon walls weep. They weep from dripping springs which in turn create gardens on the walls. After a heavy rain or during spring runoff, the canyon walls may be streaming with falling water. Some of Zion's waterfalls are spectacular but mostly ephemeral; some last only minutes. Yet their tracks remain visible. Due to desert minerals, the falls leave black streaks where the water evaporates. Those mineral "tapestries" can be seen in many areas of the park. Copyright Debra Martz 20180823-DSC_4387.N
