Have you read my latest blog about Hiking Angels Landing? It’s an exciting one, so don’t miss out!

There are so many photos that I want to share with you from my recent Summer Moments Road Trip and placing them in a traditional blog format just don’t do these photos any justice.

I’ve decided to do a series of pictorials that will showcase my favorite photos in a large (875px) format. For those of you who can’t relate to the whole pixel thing, to simplify, the photos displayed below are just a lot larger than you typically see here on a traditional blog post on Pause The Moment.

Below, you’ll find my second pictorial of the series titled “Zion National Park: 14 Stunning Photos That You Have To See!” which features some of my favorite photos from my recent trip to Zion National Park.

    • Yes, you have to check out Zion and since Bryce Canyon is only 70-ish miles away, you can’t miss that either! Utah has so many incredible sights to see.

  1. Hey, I was just there two days ago. When did you take these? I also hiked Angel’s Landing and Hidden Canyon. My only regret was not hiking the narrows. I must go back to do that!

    • No way? I was there at the end of August! I also missed out on the Narrows. It’s on my list of things to do the next time I get the chance to get out to Zion. Maybe we can do it together!?

    • Thanks Rob. I still advise you to check it out if you’re ever in the area. I explored just a small piece of this park. There is so much more to it!

  2. Is the Zion National Park recognized by UNESCO? I think it should with those paradise-like and great rock formations. It looks relaxing and peaceful. You must have had fun visiting the spot.

    • No, Mike. Zion is not recognized by UNESCO. I’m not exactly sure why but I believe it’s because Zion isn’t the only beautiful park in the state of Utah and if they recognized Zion they would have to recognize the rest as well. It’s definitely a place to see though. Thanks for the comment
