Great pictures John. Love driving through there. Pictures don't do these places justice. The sheer cliffs and beautiful colors are epic.

This thread is awesome. Pictures are great and it’s good to see Raptors getting some trail time.

Wow makes a Raptor look like a toy truck out there. Even the roads are orangey coated from that dirt. Enjoyed the views and keep a bottle of shine (tire shine that is) in the truck at all times, just as @smurfslayer does lmao.

The road resurfacing involves chip sealing, which is coating the road with a combination of oil and rock chips. Local red cinders are used to create Zion's signature red roads. The layer of chips must remain on the roads for two to three weeks before the remaining loose chips are swept and removed. During this time, motorists and bicyclists should be aware of the hazards of a layer of loose rock chips. Speed should be reduced to help prevent injuries or windshield damage from flying chips.

Wow that’s something. I really learned something new. Definitely could see those roads are different. Cool stuff!
