Description

Canyon Overlook by Jeff Burton captures the majestic view of lower Zion Canyon from above Pine Creek at a viewpoint above The Great Arch. The viewpoint is at the end of a mile-long hike along the Canyon Overlook Trail. From this viewpoint one can see Bridge Mountain (the peak on the left side of the canyon), the East Temple (the rock formation on the right), Mount Spry (just beyond the East Temple formation) and the West Temple (beyond Bridge Mountain) and other landmarks of Zion National Park.

Zion National Park is located in the near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature of park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to half a mile (800 m) deep, cut through the reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches.

Jeff Burton is a Peoria, IL based Fine Art Photographer, who seeks to capture moments that instill a sense of calm and wonderment with the world around us. His photography style emphasizes the often-overlooked rich texture and tones of his subjects.
