Woke up after a lovely sleep in the warm cabin, to fat snowflakes falling outside our window. Again! So it took us abit of motivation before we got going. Had some freshly baked muffins and very cheap tea/coffee from the campsite store, then hit the roads. Where we are staying […]

Cold!!! Last night was cold, and wet but mainly cold! Not a lot of sleep, again, spending the night trying to figure out how to be warm enough and failing miserably! We woke up and it was snowing… again! Still the same small snow showers interrupted by sunshine. It seems […]

After a refreshingly warm night in our tent, we cooked breakfast, drove our bikes to the visitor centre and jumped on the Zion Shuttle heading into the Canyon. We figured Angels Landing would be way too crowded so we opted for the 8mile(12km) return hike up to Observation Point, the […]
