Spent Dec 28 to Jan 1st in a motel at Hanksville to do canyons in the North Wash. "Adjacent" to the Freeze Fest, you can say...ran into Mr. Jones down at Hog Springs. Was there with friends and had a great time despite snow and some serious cold air, especially in the mornings. A couple of canyons we wanted to do were impossible because of the snow. Went to Vegas to mountain bike and then to the Grand Canyon. Was there when the big snowstorm hit.
Red Rocks campground just west of Vegas was closed (bummer) but Lake Mead was open and camping was free. The Grand was open and everything was fine there, too. The "shutdown" saved me more than $100 in camping fees.
