Holding Pattern

The clouds still obscure the red rocks and the snow flakes fall beautifully on the town today.  With temps in the 30's and no sun shining through the haze, plans for today had to be chosen carefully.  Someone (i.e. me) forgot to pack snow boots for the tiny tater (really, who would have thought there would be this much snow here) so we have to plan for adventuring in places where the mud is minimal.

Our plans worked out wonderfully and we hiked part of the Slickrock Bike Trail after breakfast.  The snow on the red sandstone made for an amazing backdrop and the cold weather meant very few people to bump into.  KT was been a trooper -- thankfully she loves hiking and doesn't mind the snow -- especially when encouraged by promises of Oreos and the large, flat screen television in the hotel room.

Even with snow and cold, who can argue with getting out to enjoy scenery like this?
