Not being one not to waste the value of the US National Park pass that we bought in August 2008 for Zion, we headed back to Utah for the Family Day holiday weekend.  Due to the high elevation in the National Parks we were hoping to see some snow in the canyons and luckily were not disappointed.  We were also very fortunate to be there for the few days between winter storms.  As we flew in and out of Las Vegas we got a few hours of warm weather before heading to the bitter cold of Bryce.  We stopped back in Zion to see it with snow and without the summer crowds. Although there was lots of ice in Bryce, we managed to find a snow-covered hike among the Hoodoos.  The snow made for a beautiful backdrop and great weekend.
