Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel.
Heading east.
It's difficult to see because of the back-lit pic but there's a massive natural arch in the stone face.
The highway was under construction while we were there. All of the warnings made us laugh because the total delay added up to about 20 minutes.
View down to one of the highway's switchback. 
Following the escort car.
Into the tunnel.
The tunnel was finished in 1930 and has several viewing windows carved through the rock.
Out on the other end of the tunnel. The landscape had changed dramatically.
Big horn sheep.
Another quick tunnel.
The drivah. Doing just fine.
My attention span is just about maxed out.
Oh yup, there it is, now it's maxed out.
Sandstone. The texture really shows how it used to be a sand dune.
Finally, a little pit stop at Checkerboard Mesa.
Back to the rental car.

No wonder you needed an escort car - with the rental vehicle you drove for this part of your trip! Mom (:
It's just one of the perks when you're rolling on hot wheels like those!
aren't you tired by now?1
