The Tuesday morning air was crisp — 13 degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact — as I was driving on the lone yet empty main road in Bryce Canyon National Park just past the entrance; and the gloomy gray clouds which lay low to the ground earlier that morning were in the process of clearing and giving way to the azure skies and bright sunshine which tried to pierce through the cold…
