Red Canyon Hike

We went to Red Canyon today to do a little hiking. It is about 20 miles from Bryce Canyon in the Dixie National Forest. There is a nice 50 site concessionaire run campground that is also there. We started hiking the Hoodoo Trail which lead to the Pink Ledges Trail. These two trails formed a loop trail from the Forest Service Visitor Center.

Virginia finally got hold of our co-hosts that were supposed to be here by May 1 and they said that they will not be coming. So, I guess that means we will have to handle the campground ourselves.

Snow Storm at Bryce Canyon

It has been snowing off and on most of the day. Early this afternoon I ventured out to take some photographs of Bryce Canyon covered with some snow. It started to snow really hard in the early evening and the Visitor Center had to turn on the sidewalk heaters which are usually only used in winter. We made a couple of rounds in the campground to make sure everyone was ok. The tenters were our chief concern but all was well.
