Sunrise on Obsidian Creek
Mono Lake
Zion National Park. Utah, USA. The North Fork of the Virgin river begins north of Zion at Cascade Falls which comes out of a cave near Navajo Lake (elevation 9,000 feet). The East Fork of the Virgin River originates above Long Valley. Both the North and East Forks of the Virgin River run through the park and empty into Lake Mead and then into the Colorado River, which empties into the Gulf of California. In this Virgin River autumn scene, maple and cottonwood trees line the banks of this ribbon of life while blue-leaf asters (Aster glaucodes) grace the riverbank.
