Spent yesterday in and out of Zion NP, looking across the peaks which I strained to see from the bottom of the canyon yesterday. I collected several kinds of rocks, including one volcanic rock which was much harder than my pick. It was too hot to touch, so I bounced it across the road towards the car. It made a metallic clank- ironbearing?

| I could tell when I was out of Zion by how the roads are maintained. |
Last night I made camp at Point Supreme, in Cedar Breaks. On the way up I talked with some cyclists, who caught up with me on the mountain just before the sun set. Cold enough for my hat, fleece and gloves, and they provided lots of wood for a fire. Beautiful and aromatic cedars, an amazing amphitheater of hoodoos, and a bristlecone pine that's at least 1600 years old. Heading down from the ski town of Brian Head (free wifi!) to Bryce today.

| Yes, that's snow you're looking at. |
