Red Cliffs Desert Reserve north of Hurricane, Utah
What happened to the warm and sunny south? We must have missed it! It was colder here today than when we left Prince Albert. The highway between Nephi and Hurricane is high, passing over high several passes, at least one of which is over 2000 metres, and it had snowed last night. Although the highway was clear, the surrounding fields and mountains were snow covered, and the temperature outside was about -2 C.
After passing through Cedar City the highway drops down a long way, and it warmed up, though it didn’t get very hot as it is now about 10 C out. However this town has certainly earned its’ name as it is just incredibly windy outside. The trailer is rocking even though it is on the levelling jacks.
We are staying in the Willowind RV Park. It seems to be a nice park, and we have a pull through site on a concrete pad. We will be here until Sunday when we leave to stay for a while in Zion National Park. We hope that it warms up some!
I decided to go for a walk before supper, so headed north with the GPS and found, quite by accident, a nature reserve called the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to bike and hike in, so tomorrow we plan to bike there, provided it’s not too windy.
