It snowed the night we stayed in Cedar City, UT.
Our original plan was to head out to Cedar Breaks National Monument. It was east of town and that's all I knew. We got into the car and headed out highway 14. It started uphill. And kept going uphill...
Dixie?? What part of Dixie gets this much snow?? :)
We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw this sign!
Snow pictures for my mother. It looked like a blizzard had hit.
More snow.
And still more snow. The turnoff for Cedar Breaks was not far from the previous summit sign. The road looked to go even higher so we decided to stay on Hwy 14 and keep going since we were on the down side.
Navajo Lake. Just perfect. Even though I was scared to death :)
Highway 14 went to US 89 which took us to AZ 9. We turned right and headed for Zion National Park. This was not a scheduled stop on our trip but it was the straightest way to Las Vegas and we could see some sights as well. What a hidden jewel of a park. The views were spectacular!!
Here are the kids just inside the East Entrance to the park. The park road runs through a canyon and the views were incredible.
There are two tunnels in the park. One is rather short and uneventful. The other was built in the 1930s and is quite long. There is a guard posted at each entrance to stop traffic if a tall RV comes through. The tunnel wasn't constructed for today's vehicles and sometimes they have to allow an RV to travel right down the middle of the tunnel in order for it to safely pass through.
One of the mountains.
A close-up of one of the rocks. Note the intricate layers.
More views of Zion.
This one I really liked. Lenore took it.
More pictures tomorrow!
