We Left Grand Canyon a Day Early

 We decided to leave a day early because of the weather. We don't have snow tires, and I don't think she handles well in the snow. We were forecast to have about 3 hours above freezing today. With snow and sleet throughout the day. As soon as the temperature rose above freezing, we took off. Our destination, only 3 hours away. We aimed for just outside of the Petrified Forest National Park.

We drove to the General Store inside the park before we left

We took a last look an the canyon. Snow and mist clouded our view

We couldn't see much at all


We left the park and headed south, all the while it was snowing. It was not sticking to the roads though.




It started snowing harder as we got to Williams, AZ., an hour south.
I wanted to stop but Adam thought the interstate would be fine. It was.

The snow seemed to be getting worse. Eventually, they ended up closing this highway after we had passed through it. 

The snow stopped and the roads improved the further east we got.


It finally cleared up completely. 




We ended up in Holbrook, AZ. Very near the Petrified Forest. 

More soon!
