snowy drive home

Despite gloomy weather predictions for our week in Escalante, we had four beautiful and sunny days. By the fifth day, though, there was 90 percent chance of snow so a couple of us decided to go home early. Below is what we encountered during the first leg of our trip. Even though I was riding with someone who drove in snow most of his life, I was still very nervous!

flagstaff festival of lights

We went to Little America’s Festival of Lights for the first time last night and Wowie Wow….Breathtaking!
It is, hands down, the best display we have ever seen. Last night was the official lighting so there were
many other activities going on making it a really fun event.

A little snow made the evening extra special. Then we had to drive back down to Sedona via twisty 89A…scary!

When we left the trailhead, it was very cloudy but we kept good thoughts and were rewarded
with some moments of sun and extreme blue skies. Then it started spitting snow which cut our
visit very short. I mainly shot movies.

So….what’s worse? Hiking to the Wave in the heat or worrying about getting out during a snow storm.
Tough call 🙂
