Bilderrätsel Nr.947, "Shoe Tree" bei Springdale

Wo steht dieser Shoe Tree?

Tschuldigung wegen dem Bildausfall (Frau und Technik...)

Zitat von Kerstin

Utah?

Utah stimmt

Kerstin das lass ich dann mal gelten. Die GPS Daten habe ich zwar nicht, der Baum steht glaube ich kurz vor Springdale.

Zitat von Minnesota

Und da ich neugierig bin, möchte ich jetzt gern noch wissen, was es damit auf sich hat? Wünsche (wishing well?)? Überstandene Hikes? Aufräumende Hausfrauen?

Shoe Tree For Hikers
This shoe tree has the distinction of being just outside the entrance of one of the most beautiful national parks anywhere in America. The tree is on State Road 9 between mile markers 20 and 21 and is on the south side of the road with several convenient places to pull out and park. In the background you will also see some of the towering red sandstone cliffs of Zion. On the tree you will note that most of the shoes are hiking boots. Legend has it that they are hung here in tribute to the Angels Landing hike in Zion National Park - because once you have completed this hair-raising hike you may as well hang up your boots as nothing else exists to compare with it. Over the years several hikers have lost their lives on that trail and there is truly a spectacular view from the top!
