|  |  | Just where Kolob Reservoir Road meets the northern boundary of Zion National Park,
there is a wonderful grove of birch trees. | |  |  |  | 
 |  | Three somewhat symmetrical trees in the grove, just off the road.
And yes, the sky was that blue... well, that blue seen through a 
polarizer. | |  |  |  | 
 |  | Kolob Reservoir Road is only plowed up to Spend Love Knoll. There is a turnaround
and a cross-country ski station, and then the road begins a good climb. This is a view
looking down the hill where the sun keeps the snow level down. 
The snow gets quite deep and drifty past the park
boundary as the meadow opens up. After a good snowstorm, Lava Point is simply
not reachable in a wheeled vehicle. | |  |  |  | 
 |  | Spend Love Knoll. I like the name as much as the mountain. The lumps of
snow are buried clumps of grass. | |  |  |  | 
 |  | A peak well off the road. I suspect this is 'Red Butte,' but it could be
'Burnt Mountain' just as well. GPS doesn't work as a good compass when
standing still... | |  |  |  | 
 |  | Another view of Red Butte or Burnt Mountain. If you know which is which, please fill
me in. | |  |  |  |
