Description
**Explore Zion National Park Travel Art, in my "Zion National Park-Utah" Collection**
For me, there is one National Park, that stands out amongst the many wonderful National Parks in southern Utah, bar none, it is "Zion National Park!" It's just dripping with so much beauty, it has stopped this visitor in her tracks, leaving me awe-struck." In the past 30 years of visiting there, it has continued to do so!
After experiencing all the unique beauty along Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway east entrance, we are ready to see the beauty of Zion from the Springdale west entrance and the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. All you have to do is "Just Tunnel Through," the 1.1 mile, Mt. Carmel tunnel, carved through the rock.
Here we see this 5,613-foot (1,711 m) tunnel from the outside, that follows the profile of the Pine Creek Canyon wall. We also can see the big window, carved out of the rock, that I captured a view of the canyon looking out that window, while traveling through the tunnel. It is my image "Tunnel Vision."
It's amazing to think that we actually drove through this mountain, to get to this Pine Creek Canyon view.
💕It’s with heARTfelt Appreciation and Thanks to the Administrators for these HOMEPAGE FEATURES in their Art Group💕

Now we have, “Both Sides Now”, Janet...a view from within and now from the outside looking in! Whatta tunnel done back in FDR’s CCC days.....fav / like
Janet Marie replied:
We do don't we. Your masterful driving and slowing down inside the tunnel, afforded me the opportunity to capture the beauty that awaited us on the other side. It is an amazing undertaking for the time. So glad we have it to take us from the east entrance into the main part of the Canyon and visa versa. I am glad you like it, and have chosen it as one of your favorites too! đź’•đź’•đź’•đź’•
