Description:
Plate 1434X. Cave Valley 1963 – 2007 Viewed west-northwest along the western-edge of Cave Valley on the Lower Kolob Plateau in Zion National Park. The gravel pit in the foreground has destroyed the original camera station, so the retake was made atop the pit wall near the Kolob road. Oak and other mountain brush species have increased, as have pinyon and juniper. Sagebrush has increased on what was once a plowed field - - left of the fenceline in the 1963 image.
