Travel: Lava Point Overlook (2 of 2)



2026-06-09 - Washington Co., Utah - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com.
Robert writes, "The white colored rock formation in the far off distance is part of Zion Canyon. In this scene we are climbing higher in elevation and leaving the views of Zion behind. There's numerous places along the way where you'll catch breathtaking views of the 'other side' of the Park.

It can be as slow of a drive as you want it to be perhaps only meeting a few other vehicles, with lots of panoramic views along the way. I definitely recommend adding it to your itinerary if you are making plans for visiting Zion National Park."
