The day started out gray and gloomy just as predicted. I decided to make Beef Burgundy in the Crock Pot. As the day went on, it would rain off and on then the sun would come out briefly. I baked Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake for our enjoyment over the next few days. The day wore on, gray and overcast, we were happy to play cards, nap and relax. We did see a beautiful Blue Bird.
Tomorrow is a new day and we plan to go see Bryce Canyon in the sun.

Zion National Park and Dixie National Forest
We spent the day at Zion National Park and drove back through Dixie National Forest on our way back to the campground in Hatch. We experienced every type of weather today, sunny morning; high winds and rain after lunch; heavy snow in the late afternoon on our way home.
More of Dixie National Forest
It's supposed to be very windy and raining tomorrow. We may take the day off and relax tomorrow.

Dixie Canyon and Bryce Canyon
We didn't get 6-12" of snow last night but we did get about an inch. The skies were overcast but we decided to take a trip to Bryce Canyon National Park anyway. It was beautiful with the snow cover that was higher in the mountains. On the way to Bryce we came across Dixie Canyon National Forest.
Now, Bryce Canyon
