As it rained last week in the main canyon of Zion, it snowed on the Eastside of the park. Since the snow was somewhat light, you can make out the eroded lines and shapes in the soft sandstone.

The Ponderosa Pine In Snow
The winter aspens have a life of their own when snowed upon, but so do the Ponderosa Pines with their distinctive orangish/brown bark. They don’t lose their leaves during winter because they done’t have leaves but pine needles.. These were taken at The Kaibab National Forest in Northern Arizona this past week.
Maybe I’m Amazed
At the aerial video view of the fresh snow at the Kaibab National Forest in Northern Arizona. The Kaibab is adjacent to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This access closed Sunday for the winter season so I was happy to get over there this past week. Watch in HiDef at Full Screen.
More Still Shots From Snowy Kaibab
Snow is very ephemeral here in the Southwest so you better get out and capture it or the snow will be gone by noon. Even though I had a 2 hour drive to get to the Kaibab National Forest, the temperatures were still in the mid 20s when I arrived around 9 a.m. I believe I had the whole place to myself except for the 2 snowplows.
Winter Aspens Have A life Of Their Own
Ask the Coyote in the first image. When leaveless, the Aspen shows off its trunk and branches in a surreal and abstract way. Three inches of fresh snow helped to add to the lines of the trees. These were taken on Wednesday at the Kaibab National Forest adjacent to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Even More From A Snowy Grand Canyon
It snowed another 8-10 inches at Grand Canyon National Park on Thursday. Glad I was stranded due to road closures. The snow level dropped another 2,000 feet into the canyon, the deepest I’ve ver seen at the Grand Canyon. The increase in precipitation and lower temperatures were responsible. Companion video to follow later.
