Colorful Zion Winter [Explore] - a photo on Flickriver

The Colorado Plateau is full of wonderous sandstone geologic features, that range from bright cream to deep red hues. It is often referred to as a cold desert, because it experiences colder seasons than the Mojave and Sonoran deserts to the west.

Here in Zion National Park in the southwestern corner of Utah, where the canyon floor elevation is above 4,000', snow falls occasionally and the winter temperatures can be very cold. The Virgin River which cut this canyon over millennia does not freeze, so on a clear day after a snowfall it reflects the vibrant colors of the rock and deep blue skies, further highlighting the scant snow in the scene.

Congrats on Explore!
