Views one waits a long time to find as we position ourselves on a hill, to gain advantage.
We love the view but the snow informs us it's time to depart and head for milder climes and other climbs...'wimps'.
Here's another aspect of the multi-faceted State of Utah. We had to change our plans for a few days because of bad weather. We chose St. George, a town we really like, replacing an intended visit to Panguich. It made no sense to sit inside a motel and think of the great hikes we were missing. Much better to face some rain, a few snowflakes and get out into the beautiful semi-desert. Turned out that, which often occurs, we missed the snow and most of the rain but had a couple of days hiking on the outskirts of this fascinating place.

The colors are always a treat in Utah and during our stay proved once again why it's our favorite state. Well, I should qualify that it's my best. Jen has not committed fully to that opinion but I know she's very fond of it. She hedges while I commit and then often, make a fool of myself. However, I'm used to that.
Talking of favorite states, and of course, we mean geographically speaking. The 'UCAN' states encompass so much diversity, beauty and a whole host of other features that we consider it the best of the United States visited. It would not be unreasonable to consider much of this land as being heaven on earth. There I go again. The more time we spend on the land, the more we realize what a treasure it is.
Should you not have guessed our definition of the UCAN (do it) states, it comprises Utah, California, Arizona and Nevada (excluding of course, City of Las Vegas...oops). They might also be termed CANU (believe it?)
Early winter and the colors still thriving.
Layering of colors and formations.
Our friend, Howard Greek, will tell you this is a typical Sedona scene, some of the other photographs, too. 
She's either a beautiful woman or the photographer rigged the camera. Loved the look of and on her face...still do.
Layering of colors and formations.
Even the colors of the baseball field glow.
A little of everything.
Activity that makes my day.
This scene is only 20 minutes further away by car...2 minutes or less for crows.
