Ambling, rambling, gurgling and secretive, the river runs below winter's blanket, awaiting spring's thaw.
As March slowly exits, the Rocky Mountains are beginning to show signs of the season of blooms, bursting sun showers and fragrant aromas. April is just a daydream away and before long the sun's heat will renew life in abundance.
Dance with joy, the songs of the heart rejoice and the skin feels the magic which the sun delivers with resounding strength.
While all around the Rocky Mountains, the change of season has the colors in full bursts, a recent trip to Nevada had us stopping in the Virgin River Gorge on the border of Utah and the tip of Arizona, along I 15. A mild, even balmy 75 degrees gave bursts to the beautiful cactus that call this area of desert home. While some may be zipping through the Gorge on their way to the city of lights & casinos, we could have easily spent our entire weekend exploring the continuous beauty of the desert and slow moving Virgin River as it carves its way through the canyon.
