King Zion
Photo Location: Zion Park, Utah
The Watchman is one of Zion National Park's most majestic and recognizable peaks, its broad, layered sandstone face rising over 2,500 feet above the valley floor and standing as a silent, towering sentinel at the southern entrance of the park near Springdale, Utah. Glowing in shades of burnt orange, crimson, and gold as the light shifts throughout the day, The Watchman is perhaps most spectacular at sunset, when its massive rocky face catches the last warm rays of light and reflects them brilliantly against the deep blue of the Virgin River flowing peacefully at its base.
