West of Bryce Canyon, the "Scenic Byway 12" will go straight through the rock.

Twelve miles off U.S. Highway 89, near Kanab, lies the wide-sweeping expanse of Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. Contrasted by blue skies, juniper and pinon pines, and steep red cliffs, the park is a wonderful place for camping, taking photographs, or just relaxing and playing in the sand.

The sand is indeed coral pink, and the dunes are a spectacular sight.

The eastern part of Zion National Park has some fantastic views as well: After a stunning drive through the narrow tunnel, you will drive along the curvy, narrow highway.

The Weeping Rock: If you look closely, you can see the water running down, seemingly from nowhere.

Sky and mountains around the Weeping Rock.

From the Temple of Sinawava you can hike the Riverside Walk until it gets very narrow - and very wet. In fact, you have to walk through the water if you want to continue beyond the end of the trail...

Across the Zion Lodge, you will find the horse corral, where you can rent a horse to explore the area.

From the Middle Emerald Pools Trail you have a wonderful view across the Zion Canyon.
