Definitely better than rain but .... I hope it clears soon.
When I leave Kanab, it's still snowing but the snow looks so beautiful on the red rocks!
As I head towards the east entrance of Zion again, I see a group of turkeys alongside the road (and no deer).
Since it's still drizzling, I guess I'm just doing the tourist drive to the main part of the park - of course stopping when I can.
The first stop is Checkerboard Mesa.
Then multiple stops along the way to the tunnel.
Including a bird stop.
I stop here to walk the Canyon Overlook Trail. This I have been on before but it is worth taking.
The trail follows along the rocks and the rim of a canyon.
Surprised to a paintbrush blooming - just this one plant.
Goes over a boardwalk and thru a cave/grotto
Before ending at a viewpoint of the switchbacks and the main canyon below (where all the tourists are).
Time to head back to the tunnel.
After the walk, I stop at the Visitor's Center (lots of visitors today) and decide, since it's still overcast and drizzly, to head home. Yes, a little wimpy but I didn't bring rain gear -- just brought the snowshoes :)
Still a great day and an awesome 3 day week-end!!
