slgwv's photos with the keyword: Navajo Lake-North Fork road

Off the Navajo Lake-North Fork road, looking north. The Wasatch Formation, which produces Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks, makes the orange scarps on the skyline. Navajo Lake lies beyond that ridge. The prominent drainage crossing the middle distance is the North Fork of the Virgin River, on its way to Zion National Park. Gung-ho hikers do a point-to-point down the river, thru the Narrows, and into Zion proper, where they pick up a ride. The route is strenuous and subject to flooding--there are lots of warnings about being caught in a flash flood in the narrow parts! Map position is approximate but gives the flavor.
