Vintage Zion National Park imagery

Zion National Park vintage poster

Zion National Park vintage poster

A recent article in the Deseret News brought together two of my favorite things: vintage graphic art and Zion National Park. I really love seeing these old photos, especially of the one where the little kid is hanging on to the rope for dear life. I think the poster to the left is super cool and I always try, but never really succeed at making cool vintage designs.  Hard to be the actual images.  Thanks Deseret News for sharing.

Here are a few headlines I came across for some Western parks:

Volunteer at Zion National Park on February 19th

If you have plans to be in Zion National Park on Friday February 19, or could make arrangements to get there, your help as a volunteer is needed to help mark some new boundaries.  Sounds like fun and a good excuse to get out.  Too bad I was just there last weekend.  I don’t expect I can get down there again.  Read the full story below.

My backyard bird count: Zion National Park

I was lucky enough to be in Zion National Park this weekend with my family. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time. I was able to get a little time to get my count in for the Great Backyard Bird Count. Since my kids weren’t into sitting an watching I got my time in on the trail to Weeping Rock.y list wasn’t too extenive but I got to see some birds I don’t normally see at home. The two best for me were the spotted towhees and the gray headed junkos. I also saw some ravens, chickadees, and house sparrows. In all a great day. Just a reminder that Monday is the last day to count so get out and relax for a few minutes counting some birds.
