Just a short move to Kanarraville, UT, 46.2 miles (7,346.0 trip/66,827.1 total), but it will allow us to see another side of the area - the top side. Our new site at Red Ledge RV Park is more than a mile above sea level at just over 5,500 feet elevation (our site at Zion was at 2,500 ft elevation.)
Just outside Zion National Park, Eagle Crags is a majestic sight.
The scenery along Scenic Byway 9 leaving the park is breathtaking.
How's that for a backyard!
As we got closer to Kanarraville, the clouds kept getting darker. I figured I would get to drive in some rain or at least set up in the rain. Fortunately, I didn't have to do either as the weather held off until we were settled into site 6 (the nicest in the small park)
It was bright and sunny the entire drive, but it looked like we might not outrun the rain.
As soon as David finished setting up...
...we were treated to snow (much better than rain).
When the storm cleared, there was a fresh layer of snow capping the mountains all around us - beautiful! The snow in the park melted and dried quickly leaving us with a nice afternoon to get acquainted with the town.
We were told it has only snowed three times this year in Kanarraville, UT.
