zion in rain and snow

I have a lot of catching up to do.........

We were in Zion Nat'l Park in Utah Feb. 19-22

We almost had the park to ourselves. They even had a trail the dogs could walk on! Two out of three mornings we walked the 3+ miles without seeing another soul. The weather was rainy and snowy with a touch of sun. The rain and clouds made the gigantic rock faces very mysterious. What a privilege to witness such grandeur. I even did some hiking on my own which was a nice change. We spent three days here and enjoyed every second of it. One day we had just gotten back from our walk and into the van when a tremendous thunderstorm hit. I didn't see any lightening but there were booms upon booms and then a torrent of rain that turned into ice then snow. I was in the midst of nature at her work. I would never tire of that walk through the valley nor the gigantic form of the Watchman standing sentinel over Queenie (the van has a name), Amy, Shara and I day and night.
