Since we are not yet celebrating Mother’s Day with the family due to our being in Utah, John and I go hiking in the Kolob section of Zion NP. We’ve done the Northgate Peaks Trail before, a long time ago. It is not too strenuous which is good because we have not been hiking recently.
Due to the high elevation, it is still very early spring here. The ground is covered by beautiful early spring flowers.
We cross several small streams made possible by the runoff from the snow. Unfortunately as we approach the rim of the canyon it is getting windier and windier.
We have brought along our peanut butter and jelly lunch and hunker down at the canyon edge for a little relaxation and sustenance. The view is incredible.
After our hike what better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than a stop at Worthington Gallery to choose a beautiful Mother’s Day present!
