Dead horse ranch loop near Cottonwood, south of Sedona. (red rocks, cottonwoods and dead horses were a common theme in this part of the world). More rocks - this time super sharp limestone, and bigger cactuses.

Some short walks at the grand canyon. had the desert view area pretty much to ourselves in the morning as the road was closed with snow - so nothing to do but sit and look at the view.

Forecast for more really cold weather and snow meant we decided to head south, so we had a long drive through to Grand Canyon south (which was still very cold -10C), but at least in the right direction. had a short run between snow storms in the afternoon after the drive. pretty nice to be out. 3/4 tights were a bad choice - the bare shins really didn't like it.

Drove up to Bryce in a snow storm. got some clear patches in the afternoon, but too much snow to do much. very pretty, but the water in the van froze. -18C is quite cold.

Snow plows are terrifying to drive near.

Various walks in Zion. Couldn't get up to high as it was pretty icy.

More mtb at red rock, this time a bit further south - deadhorse loop with some extra. Some good views back over Las Vegas.
Cold and windy. Drove up to Zion afterwards.

Mtb ride from Blue Diamond, west of Las Vegas. Did the landmine loop. rocky and fun, and great to blow off some cobwebs after travelling, but it got pretty dark at the end. Saw a mangy coyote hanging around the van when we got back.

Trail finding for the trip was on http://www.mtbproject.com/ which was mostly great. just a few areas that hadn't been up dated and there were more trails than marked.
