Chris Keeney hiking in the snow in Zion National Park in Utah

You can tell by the smile on my face that I like Zion. This place is amazing, it really is. Every time I hike or walk in this park I feel inspired. The nature in front of you demands your attention and reminds you that you’re small in comparison. That life is large and expansive. It is your job as a visitor of this space to respect its beauty and peacefulness. When I was hiking on this trail, it had just lightly snowed the night before, so it left this dusting of snow on the ground. The morning was cold and crisp but the sun was out and the sky was blue and we had the rest of our day to enjoy.
