Watchman from Pa'rus Bridge, Zion National Park

My patience with "the photographers" lasted only about 5 minutes. Several were stepping backwards on the bridge almost getting hit by the Zion shuttle bus. Not a peaceful situation despite how it looked on film. I decided to break ranks and head down the Pa'rus Trail to find the other bridge over the Virgin River. "The photographers cautioned me that this bridge was shaky, and it was. But I was also the only person there, aside from the occasional biker who shook the bridge. But it was a way more peaceful way to watch the last light of the day light up the Watchman.
