For today’s #BlueSkyArtShow, I share #gratitude for living in a place that has pikas. 🥰

Thanks!
It’s impossible to take a bad picture from up there. 😄
It’s insane that this is a real place. 😄
Panoramic view from Observation Point in Zion National Park, looking out over towering red and cream sandstone cliffs, deep canyons, and the winding Virgin River far below. The dramatic vista includes Angels Landing in the distance, framed by a vast sky and desert vegetation in the foreground.
The view from my absolute favorite spot in Zion National Park, looking down on the #vibrant valley floor.
