Life Finds a Way

Another photo from the beautiful Zion National Park, but this time from the main canyon.  At the north end of the canyon there is a friendly trail named Riverside Walk.  This is a paved trail that winds along the North Fork Virgin river.  As you move further north along the trail the canyon walls come in closer and closer.  Also you’ll find parts of the walls where water is coming right out of the cliff face.  This was captured near one of those areas.  While walking I spotted this small seedling just sprouting right out of the rock wall.  The idea that this little plant has managed to take root into something so seemingly strong and impenetrable impressed me.
