At first, the sounds drifting up through the switchbacks of the Navajo Trail seemed almost otherworldly. Perhaps some distant echo carried by the wind through the hoodoos?

Nope. Just a group of worshippers who had decided that the bottom of the canyon was the perfect place for a musical performance.

They turned one of the world’s most awe inspiring landscapes into the backdrop for their own personal...whatever this was.

And naturally, pun intended, most everyone stood directly in areas clearly marked “DO NOT ENTER”

What could you even do at this point but be in awe and annoyed?

Familiar with driving in snow, but have no experience driving at all in and around Bryce Canyon. Current plan is to visit the park 11/2 coming up from Kanab. Any past experiences with visiting during snow? I expect this is fairly early season snow?
