04-16-2013 Bryce Canyon Snow


The second day we were at Bryce Canyon it snowed.
 It made everything clean looking a very pretty.  But it was pretty chilly, 17 degrees.
Mocha and Bandit were not very impressed.  Even though they had their coats on they don't particularly like the cold white stuff.
 
I had a little fun in the snow building this pathetic looking snow man. 
After sitting in the camper for a full day we just had to get out.  So in spite of the blowing snow showers and the wind we bundled up and went hiking.  Bryce Canyon National Park was totally different after the snow.  What a magnificent change.
 
 
 
 
We decided to go for the "I hiked the Hoodoos" award.  This requires hiking three different trails and taking a picture of a placard along the way.  When you go back to the visitor center show the rangers the picture they give you a reward.

So we trudged around on the muddy/snowy trails and got out pictures.

 
 
It included a hike in the lower part of the canyon past this waterfall that is swollen from runoff.

And at the end of the day, pop cycle like, we went to the visitor center and collected a very nice pin for our efforts.
