In our family, Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate our blessings, the greatest of which is each other. This year we gave thanks in our most cherished place on the earth – Zion National Park in southwest Utah. Over the years it has truly been our refuge and a place we go to rekindle our spirits.
We never fail to take the River Walk trail to the Gateway to the Narrows. With camera firmly attached to tripod and tripod jontily perched on my shoulder I traveled the trail, open to that one scene that captured the beauty of the canyon and what Zion has come to mean to us. This is it.
