The week of Thanksgiving is finally here<\/strong>, marking the first time for me to be able see my family since last Christmas. Or at least I hope to be able to see them as the Covid pandemic outbreak is currently raging again with an increase in cases recently across the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’ve taken off the entire week<\/strong> from work so that I could slowly make my way from Phoenix to Salt Lake City. First stop is in St. George Utah and Snow Canyon State Park<\/a>. Many of my friends have been here, and the park itself proclaims it to be “possibly the greatest State Park in the country, maybe even the world”<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is one pretty bold statement that I wanted to test out with my own two eyes. I pull up to the southern entrance to the park, looking for a place to park that is relatively unoccupied. I have no such luck, as this park is jammed packed, which is not to conducive for a pandemic, and my extended family is already worried enough about having me visit them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I drive my way through the park, which is truly stunning, and quickly find the exit. I decide to park here and hike from the top, just to explore. At least there are not any other people around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along a bike path I go<\/strong>, then I find a dirt road that leads to the edge of a cliff with views of Snow Canyon. The light and clouds are perfect on this fine November day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it the greatest State park around<\/strong>? I’m not one to concur or deny, but it is a pretty canyon, no doubt about it. I don’t stay too long though as I need to get to my final destination before arriving into SLC on Thanksgiving, and that destination is the Zion Lodge<\/a>. I hope Covid doesn’t ruin what I hope to be a magical few days staying inside this special National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the road again I go…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
