White Pass and the Buttes

Scarlet and I headed up to East Zion this morning with intentions of hiking over White Pass between Aries Butte and South Ariel Peak. Never quite made that far as we were intrigued by Jug Handle Arch. Those pictures are another day.  
 We got up there a little late so the lighting was not spectacular, though the views were beyond spectacular. This picture is looking south toward South Ariel Peak.
 Looking southwest past some "midget" hoodoos toward White Pass. 
A mineral stained seam pointing toward the northeast side of Aries Butte and beyond. All morning I played "dodge the airplane trail" so you might see some in the pictures, but the clouds were pretty awesome. If you get the urge to head up to this area, its on the approach to Jughandle Arch found here: http://www.zionnational-park.com/zion-jug-arch.htm
