“You need special shoes for hiking – 

and a bit of a special soul as well.” 

— Emme Woodhull-Bäche

We high-tailed it to Zion National Park yesterday...for we felt sure that Obama was going to close it down...to save a buck!!! We wanted to be sure to get a last visit in, not knowing how long the shut down might last?
Driving into the park...we quickly discovered that we were going to be in for a treat! The Park felt empty...and it was snowing...in April no less!!!
Its very hard to describe how this park effects the soul.  No matter the time or season...you cant help but be moved.  Yesterday was no exception...it was glorious to behold.  And even though the trail to Hidden Canyon was unaccessible...to our liking anyway...we were not disappointed in the least.  We built tiny snow men, and caught snowflakes on our tongues, and pelted one another with a few lightly packed snowballs!! What a delightful way to spend an afternoon...among the snowflakes and magic of Zion!!!
