Description:

Plate 1456X. Spendlove Knoll 1957 – 2007 Plates 1456x and 1457x form a panorama taken from Spendlove Knoll on the Lower Kolob Plateau in Zion National Park. Plate 1456x is viewed southeast down Lee Valley. The cleared fields in the retake are a private inholding. Pinyon, juniper, ponderosa pine, oak, mountain brush, and sagebrush have all increased. Woody vegetation now blocks the original photopoint, so the retake was made from the nearest open area.
