The Subway Canyon in Zion National Park, Utah.

I chose this picture tonight simply because this is one of my favorite places I have ever been. In my younger years, I used to guide backpack trips through this canyon, as well as The Narrows and Orderville Canyon, for the Sierra Club’s Outings department. I have stood in that exact spot the photographer is standing in many times. LOL… each time I would reach this point, I always had plans to dip down in that crystal clear natural whirlpool. But each time I arrived there, I would find that it was just as cold as my previous visit so I would simply stand there and breathe in the beauty around me.
