Zion and Bryce Canyons

Although I have yet to conduct research in these areas I teach a LOT about them.  These are two of the most beautiful places I have ever been...and likely ever will go.  Someday I hope to be the one who explains the timing of the formation of Zion Canyon...someday...

Want some more geology info on Bryce?
Right here:

And a very cool geologic road guide: http://www.sirtf.nau.edu/~koerner/ast184l/park_guides/brycecyn.pdf

Unlocking the Secrets of Zion - landforms/rock
The Sculpturing of Zion: with Road Guide to the Geology of Zion National Park- Hamilton, 1984 (Great if you can get your hands on it!)

A classic book on the region by McKee, 1931:
Ancient Landscapes of the Grand Canyon Region (Must read!!! Classic doesn't begin to describe it.)















I'm not sure why...but these two places have always been Bob Marley country for me...probably the whole "Zion" thing?
