Ecosystems of Zion National Park

“Three ecosystems converge in Zion National Park. Where the edges of the Colorado Plateau, the Great Basin and the Mojave Desert all come together. Each of these ecosystems are found in the Twelve Thousand Years edition.

Sandstone cliff faces erupt from the ground in Schatz’s photographs, these slowly eroding cliffs creating vast canyon systems that continue to be shaped today, altered by water, wind and time. The erosion of this soft stone creates fascinating geological structures that change form over time.”

This is Twelve Thousand Years (12), from a new edition of photographs featuring the landscapes of Zion National Park by Lincoln Schatz.
