Kolob Road - Utah

Back in April when I was coming down from Canada I thought I'd check out Kolob Rd on the west side of Zion National Park. I arrived late in the day and was lucky enough to find the last campspot up a small ravine. It started raining soon after dark and continued through the night.

The cactus were blooming and there were other signs of Spring.

In the morning I tried ascending the hill but the snow was thick on the road.

Off the pavement all was gumbo. I found a shoulder that enabled me to keep an eye on the valley below and....

above.

Around 2:00 p.m. I tried again. It had lifted some and I think I attained the crest, but the snow was coming down so hard I turned tail. The photo below was taken several hundred feet lower in elevation. 

I camped somewhere near Bluff.
