Snow shoeing in Zion National Park

The rains were pouring down, flash flooding all around in Zion National Park and the nearby towns, but East Zion was covered in snow. Two of us wanted to try out the snowshoes and 2 wanted to try cross country skiing, but the weather decided for us. What a better time to head for the hills of Zion National Park and try out snowshoes or skis! It was wonderful.

We took North Fork road up toward the Ponderosa Ranch where there is a road out to 2 different trails. One is East Mesa and the other is to Jolly Gulch. We opted for the shorter Jolly Gulch this day because the snow was getting drenched from the rain.
