Kolob Canyons, Zion’s Northwest Corner
We visited Kolob Canyons, the far northwest corner of Zion National Park, in April 2017. We had warm temperatures, lots of flowers, lovely bright green Gambel oaks and evergreens. Now, six years later, it is a very different early spring due to very different weather issues. Strong storms raging from the Pacific Ocean across California and hitting the Western states as well as moving across the country. Feet of snow where they usually get none, 30 and 40 degree temps when it should be in the 60s/low 70s, cloudy after cloudy day. Wow! It could be some time before the warm spring sunshine we love prevails. Regardless, snow on enormous red rocks is worth another visit. We are high on the western edge of the Colorado Plateau and taking a 5-mile drive to views that will take your breath away!

A True Death Valley Gem
Welcome to Death Valley! We are staying at Stovepipe Wells Village, about 25 miles from the Furnace Creek area, home to the Visitor Center and more lodging.
From Stovepipe, we travel .2 miles turning left to drive up a 2.3-mile dirt/gravel road to Mosaic Canyon’s trailhead. I was here last year and had to come again. Why did you not hear of my visit last year? Well, that’s a saga, so come along and I’ll fill you in. Beside, you are going to love this hike!
