These were our initial views. We loved the criss-cross erosion on these hills.
Then we drove through the mountain in a very, very long tunnel. Cheryl, waiting her turn for the tunnel.
The arch cutouts in this photo were actually a few of the windows in the tunnel.

The formation on the right is what we drove through.
The views entering the valley were beautiful.
The Court of the Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This is Utah after all.
More beauty.
Cacti in bloom.
We hiked to the lower falls but it wasn't really a waterfall when we were there, more like a tropical oasis with a constant misty stream coming from above.
Loved the plants growing out of the rock walls.
A close up.
We couldn't hike to the upper falls because of the winter damage to the trail.
But we saw lots of wildlife: turkey, stubby lizard, snake (which we noticed because a woman came running around the corner in a panic after having seen it), bold squirrels, and deer.
We couldn't hike down through the narrows since they closed it because of the high water.
