005 Zion National Park: In Search of a Great Arch (ENHANCED)

Park Ranger Mike talks about natural arches in Zion National Park, Utah.

This summer, I spent an action-packed four days in Zion National Park, Utah. While there, I hiked the scenic cliffs of the West Rim, I trudged through The Narrows - an all-water route through the Virgin River, and I spent an unforgettable night atop the East Rim where a mountain lion sniffed through my campsite all night long! These backcountry adventures will certainly be the memorable moments from the trip, but there was another event on the canyon floor that was memorable in its own way.

On my second night in the park, I attended a ranger lecture titled "In Search of a Great Arch" hosted by veteran ranger Mike Large. Thanks to Ranger Large's generosity, I am able to present the entire lecture here on the Slices of America Podcast. This is an enhanced episode. The sound is synchronized with images from the ranger's slideshow. To see these images, please open the album artwork on your software or mobile player.
