Zion: Weeping Rock

After the Emerald Pools we took the shuttle up to Weeping Rock. This is another overhang, where the water has been dripping for thousands of years. We were told that tests had confirmed the water running down the rocks to be appx. 1,200 years old; that's how long it takes to pass through the layers of sandstone.

This water is 1,200 years old.


There's a platform along the overhang where the water runs down. It's usually full of Asian tourists taking selfies.


The views in Zion are puuuurdy.


There are some nice places on the steep path up there too.


I'm no geologist, but I think what's happened here is a tree split the rock in two.


Naturally, I was skeptical of Weeping Rock.
