The Pulpit

The Pul­pit — © Copy­right 2012 by William Beem

Zion National Park is a huge place, but I think many peo­ple only see a few miles along the drive at the south­ern end. This is the Pul­pit in the Tem­ple of Sinewava. If you’re dri­ving, it’s the end of the road — and a spec­tac­u­lar place to stop. Tow­er­ing cliffs encir­cle you, giv­ing you a feel­ing you’ve reached the end of the Earth. If you want to under­stand the insignif­i­cance of man, this is a good place to con­tem­plate it.
