It was a balmy 13 degrees at the Grand Canyon, which was just too cold to have any fun, so we drove north and down to lower elevations and slightly warmer temperatures.

Horse in a national forest, not sure if it's wild or not, it was just sort of chilling with its friends

After we got tired of climbing on the ergs at Lake Powell, we headed north again to Zion National Park

All of Zion is majestic looking. We can't wait to hike it tomorrow!

Mule Deer - we had to wait for this guy to saunter across the road too

He really took his time

Hermit Thrush

Hampton Inn just outside Zion - it's SUPER NICE!
We're pretty sure our room here is bigger than our Minneapolis Apartment
