ザイオン国立公園の続きです。コロブテラスロードの先には貯水池がありますが、冬はご覧の通り雪のため閉鎖されています。- This is the continuation of Zion National Park. If you drive further north on Kolob Terrace road, you will eventually get to a reservoir. But as you can see from the image below, it’s closed for Winter.
仕方なく引き返し、スミスメサロードからメサロードを通って帰ってきましたが、ザイオン渓谷内からの眺めとは違い、大きく開けている台地を見ることになるので、気持ちがいい。 – So we reluctantly turned back and went to Smith Mesa Road instead. This road eventually becomes Mesa Road on the way back home. Although it was unfortunate that we couldn’t go farther north, we still enjoyed the view. It’s vast and open, and so different from the Zion NP valley.
Cave Knoll
渓谷内からは見ることのできないピークが続々登場します。- Many peaks that you can’t see from the valley were there.
South Guardian Angel
North Guardian Angel
Red Butte
Spendlove Knoll
他にもたくさんありますが、きりがないのでこの辺にしておきます。- These are only a few of them.
ところで、面白い光景がありました。コロブテラス沿いにひっそりと True North という保養地がありました。そして、こんな山奥にも FedEx が配達に来ていたんです。こういう場所に FedEx の車は場違いで予期しませんでしたが、こういう所こそメールオーダーの本領発揮とも言えますかね。 – By the way, we saw an interesting sight along the Kolob Terrace Road. There is a retreat called True North standing quietly. I can image that it’s a nice place to have a retreat indeed. The interesting thing we observed was that a FedEx truck was there in front of the gate. To me, it was such an odd thing to see in such a quiet place. I guess you could also say that it’s the true power of the mail order system for remote places like this.
