Virgin River Canyon

Canon EOS 350D Canon Lens 18mm 1/100sec. F/6,3 ISO-100
Photo taken on the end of the day at The Virgin River Canyon Recreation Area, Arizona, USA January 6, 2009
Nestled in a pocket of the spectacular Virgin River Gorge, this recreation area is surrounded by colorful cliffs and rocky canyons.
Take the Cedar Pockets Interchange and find yourself in the middle of a wilderness wonderland. The Virgin River Canyon Recreation Area is the only developed campground you will find on the Arizona Strip. Whether you are having a picnic, or spending the night, don’t neglect to hike the short trails leading to the Virgin River, and to a hilltop site where geology and history are explained. Keep a lookout for Bighorn Sheep who live on the rocky crags above the gorge.
