Description:

Plate 1466X. Taylor Creek 1906 – 2007 – 2007 Plates 1466x to 1469x present a panorama of the Taylor Creek drainage in the Kolob Canyons section of Zion National Park. Plate 1466x is viewed northwest across Taylor Canyon. As pinyon and juniper now block part of the distant view, a second retake was made from the nearest open area. Note the same rock cracks in the 1906 image and the first retake (photo lower-left), an indication that the original camera station was properly relocated. Pinyon and juniper have increased as have mountain brush species, including gambel oak, Utah serviceberry, turbinella oak, and birchleaf mountain mahogany.
