| Bear Trap Falls in Zion National Park. |
Photos from a nice little 18-mile run in the Kolob section of Zion National Park back in March. Highlights include La Verkin Creek Canyon, The Kolob Fingers, and the Bear Trap narrows and falls. The trail head is a 20-minute drive from my doorstep.

| The deeper I got into Bear Trap Canyon, the colder it got. All the icicles were a pleasant surprise. |

What's up with the purple gloves?
It's almost June and there are still icicles out there? Incredible!
The gloves are the latest top-of-the-line product from HotDigits. They are made form a high-tech blend of polyester, kevlar, dried fibers of seal blubber, possum down, and a touch of spandex. Imported from Bhutan--you'll never see another pair like them.
Kwei, I'm way behind on posting my adventures. This trip was back sometime in March. Still, I sure wasn't expecting ice!
This is cool!
