We spent a quiet day on Sunday and eventually headed out to view the sunset at Cedar Breaks National Park. They had received a lot of snow a couple of days previously and the park itself was closed for the winter season. The gates were open so you could still drive in however certain areas were closed to visitors. As we were driving to the park, it got foggier and foggier and by the time we reached the top elevation (10,300 feet above sea level), we found we had very little visibility. Wow, we didn't really know where we were going or what to look for because we couldn't see anything. We stopped along the side of the road and took some pictures of the trees and the snow and eventually we found a path that we could walk on. It was really cold (28F). After a short walk we decided we would head home because there really wasn't much to see. Just as we were leaving the park, the clouds started to clear and we were able to stop and see a sunset albeit a short lived one as it was almost over. It was beautiful to see the snow around the hoodoo's and we said that we would return the next day and try to catch the sunset again. The park itself was only about 30 minutes from where we were staying.
