Foggy, Snowy Bryce Canyon NP

A quick trip to Bryce Canyon to capture snow-covered hoodoos ended in disappointment as the foggy conditions obscured the canyon of hoodoos below but left 4-5 inched of fresh snow above the rim. I guess it’s best to visit just after the storm has passed which I normally do. See past image.

Back To The Future

A drive through. the Kaibab National Forest and North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park reveals new growth Aspen trees, old growth and recently fire-damaged in the park. The young Aspens at beginning of video grew after a fire there some 20 years ago. Lots of the old growth were not damaged but the Aspens inside the park were heavily damaged along with pines. The Aspens should start to bounce back in a few years and eventually look like the young Aspens at the start of this video in about 20 years.

A shout out to all those firefighters that fought to contain the devastating fire which also claimed the 100 year old Grand Canyon Lodge.

Video Of Persistant Snow In Utah

I am on my way to Colorado this week to work again at the Black Canyon Of The Gunnison National Park and encountered some deep snow in the highlands of Utah, just east of Cedar City. This drive gets to about 10,000 feet in elevation.

Lavender Canyon

You have to drive a 4 wheel drive vehicle up Lavender Canyon which makes the trip fun. You’ll encounter sand, water and numerous BLM cattle gates. Adjacent to Canyonlands National Park, the landscape is classic Canyonlands along with some funky clouds.
