In the winter, there are traces of snow against the red rock with green pine trees sparcely decorating the tall cliffs. Zion is massive and overbearing; the whole canyon seems to be frozen in time. A road has been cut through part of the mountain to include a mile tunnel that looks like the inside of a medieval castle. The stream flowing along the canyon floor creates a contrast with the green and gold trees and shrubs below and the striking colors of the rocks above.
