North of Zion is the city of Parowon.
There are hundreds of petroglyphs at Parowan Gap.
This large wall of petroglyph is several feet tall!
It is worth the drive just off Interstate 15.

and saw several trees turning colors. At over 10,000 feet
in elevation the temperature was 43 degrees!

I love this photo of Scott taking in the beauty of God's country!

Another day trip that we took was to Grafton ghost town.
where you see interesting art.
Chairway to heaven.
Just around the corner we found Grafton.
This building, made with handmade adobe bricks,
was used for school, church and meeting house.
The back door was open so we went inside and upstairs.
It was amazing to see and touch something over a hundred
and fifty years old.
John and Ella Wood home circa 1877.
We stopped by the cemetery on the way out of town.
1866 was a bad year. Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, two girls died
on a swing accident, and several residents were killed by Indians.

Cross over this old bridge and go down a back road
