Snow Canyon

Jim and I took an impromptu trip to Snow Canyon, near St. George.  We wanted to test out our new sleeping bags we got for backpacking.  We left Friday afternoon and came home Saturday night during a terrible snow storm.
Some beautiful scenery.  The weather was great, not hot and not cold.
Proof I was there.  I am so not photogenic.
It started to sprinkle just as we were ending our last hike.  It started to hail while we were at a restaurant in 
St. George.  By the time we got to Cedar City, it was snowing pretty hard.  We got stopped just outside Beaver.  Two semi trucks had jackknifed and there was a ten car pileup as a result.  Lots of other cars had slid off the road. We have heard that no one was hurt, which is a great blessing for everyone.  It took us about 6 hours to get home, when it usually takes less than 4 hours.  But in spite of everything, we had a good time. Sleeping bags were great!
