UTAH--SNOW CANYON STATE PARK.

After a brutal day in Bryce, I was super excited for our trip to Snow Canyon State Park! Snow Canyon promised to be WARM (80 degrees in March) and since it was at a LOW elevation, there was little chance I would be experiencing the horrific symptoms of altitude sickness! Our trek to Snow Canyon took us through the St. George/Santa Clara area. I immediately fell in L.O.V.E with Santa Clara and just as quickly decided that I would really LOVE to live there! Someday, I tell you, SOMEDAY! In case you hadn't guessed, our day in Snow Canyon was my favorite day of our trip. The gloriously warm weather soothed our winter weary souls--just as a really good SPRING BREAK trip should! We walked through the red sand dunes and hiked along the rocky terrain. Being outside, under the warm desert sun all day was divine! I do love my mountains but the thought of WARM winters and HOT, HOT summers--aahh, I just BELONG there!

THE SUNSHINE MADE US ALL SO HAPPY!

THE RED DUNES.

THERE WERE CERTAINLY AN ABUNDANT NUMBER OF CLIMBERS!

This park is a state park, but well worth the visit. Lots of trails and beautiful scenery to see.
