Bryce Canyon Continued

One of the cool hikes we did, yes it was cold and it kept switching between blizzard and calm, but the sun came out and the canyon walls blocked us from the wind so it wasn't so bad

Another cool hike we did.  you can't really tell from the picture but trail is completely covered in snow on this part and it was really steep so we had to forge our own trail because no one else had come that way since the storm.  Esther is kind of petrified by heights but she was super brave and followed me.  Like most hikes one lives through....it turned out to be very much worth it for the experience, not to mention the view at the end.

It is pretty tricky for the trees here because the ground erodes so quickly, they are tough though; grow just about anywhere

The second night we used better survival skills; we went to the fuel station in town, purchased some hand-warmer and stuck them in our socks.  We also had wet feet from the hikes in the snow so at the end of the day we took shelter in this toilet that was pretty posh for camping.  It had a heater and this moment was the only time I was warm the entire trip.  In case you were wondering, that is 4 layers on the top and 4 layers on the bottom.
