The walls of the Narrows in Zion backcountry glow after sunrise, by a set of waterfall cascades

Virgin Cascades

The Kolob Terraces tower heavenward at over a thousand feet above you as you wade through Left Fork Creek.

The walls begin to progressively narrow and take a series of horseshoe-like bends, whose twists and turns bounce low morning light around the sandstone canyon walls.

The reflected light here providing subtle colours and a perfect contrast to the cool blue hues of the creek waters which tumbled over this set of cascades.
