Virgin River and The Watchman, Zion National Park

Text on card: The seemingly placid waters of the North Fork of the Virgin River were almost entirely responsible for the erosion that created the Zion Canyon visitors see today. Transporting more than one million tons of sediments per year, the river is often referred to as being an endless, moving belt of sandpaper. Less than 200 miles in length, the Virgin River ultimately deposits its load of sediment into the waters of Lake Mead.
