Tolosarraknyn in The West. Part VI: Snow Canyon State Park, Utah.

After visiting the Grand Canyon we still had more than 100 miles to drive. It was a long day, we left Zion early in the morning, we drove until the North rim of the Grand Canyon and we drove back again in our way to the Pacific coast.
We didn't know anything about the Snow Canyon State Park, but we needed a place where sleep. Surfing in Google we found this place and we thought that could be a nice option.
What a wonderful surprise! We found an unbelievable landscape.  Snow Canyon has a campground surrounded by ancient lava flows and red Navajo sandstone.
We got there around 8:00 pm and, even we were tired we decided to climb a hill just above the campground. It was magical: the landscape, the colors, the loneliness... Despite the temperature (105 Fahrenheit/40 Celsius) we really enjoyed this late hike.
The next day we did a longer hike through the park. As you'll see in the video, the environment is incredible.
Libe, Ander and Xabi, got again the "Ranger Junior" title!
