April 3

We woke up to the sound of wind blowing, rain on the roof and a cool morning.  We spent the morning quietly then decided that a little weather wasn’t going to stop us from sight seeing.  We hopped into the truck and went looking for awesome scenery and found it.  We took the Zion Canyon scenic tour, 6 1/2 miles into the canyon, stopped and went on a 2 mile hike into to where the canyon starts to narrow.   The Zion Canyon is incredibly beautiful even with the rain and cloudy skies.   The cliffs seemed to reach towards the sky with no end, the water falls seemed to fall from the middle of the cliff with no befinning, the Virgin River winding beside the trail made this day perfect.  Once back home, we changed our plans and decided to stay here one more night to ride out the snow storms happening along our route home.  The downside is that we will have to move to a different spot in the morning.

Low hanging clouds were with us all day.Looking up at a rainsoaked cliffThe canyon starting to narrowtn_p1000441The cloudy sky and rain stayed the whole dayThough it was raining in the lower valley, it was snowing in the higher elevations
