I guess by now you all know that one of the places we love to visit is Zion Canyon. This is the 5th time we have gone there this year. But after all the times we have been there this is the first time we have seen it with so much snow. It was a beautiful blue sky and no wind, so even though it was only 30-35 degrees, it was perfect. Scott's and Brad's family came too. The roads were a little icy in the shade and it was cold on the trails that were in the shade. The trails were actually closed, but we managed to find a spot that is usually off limits to visitors (the tram doesn't stop there in the summer)and we hiked up to some waterfalls and took family pictures. At one spot we even saw 2 small avalanches. We drove through the tunnel to the Checkerboard Mesa and threw snowballs, and let the kids and dogs run around for a minute. The formations are totally different on that side of the canyon. If you have not been in Winter, I highly recommend it. We took over a hundred pictures.
