I’m working on a few things tonight in the hotel room, got bored and checked up on FatMixx. We’re taking it easy tonight after a ton of snow made hiking Bryce Canyon nearly impossible. Take a look:

We’re going to head out to see if it’s clear enough to do some stargazing. We’re at nearly 8000 ft right now and the park has points that are as high as 9100ft. Should be nice if it’s clear. We’ll have more about today’s activities when we’re on a faster connection, but Bryce Canyon is absolutely amazing. I can only imagine what it would be like to be inside some of the slot canyons. One of the risks of coming out here in winter is that trails get buried in a ton of snow. Of course, summer has its own risks with storms and flash floods, but at least you can simply wait out rain. Snow kinda sticks around.

Because of all the snow, we’re going to leave early tomorrow instead of trying to do a set of short hikes. We’re heading over to Zion National Park next. Reports from fellow travelers here in the hotel say no snow in that park. Thank goodness. Maybe we can even do the Angel’s Landing hike.

We have spotty Internet access here, but I’m pretty sure we’ve got nothing at the B&B we’re staying at near Zion. So, for real this time, see you when we get into Vegas.

And don’t worry, Heidi and I compiling a bigger post about the places we’ve stayed, the prices, the good and the bad of coming in later winter/early spring and everything else that might be of use to someone planning a vacation. We’re just too busy enjoying our vacation to write that all up.
