Bryce Canyon Winter Festival this weekend, Feb. 14-16

As it has every Presidents Day weekend for more than two decades, Ruby’s Inn will host the Bryce Canyon Winter Festival this Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Feb. 14-16. The festival gives its participants a different perspective on the park’s colorful hoodoos – with a light dusting of snow. The event boasts a variety of activities, including guided snowshoe tours, photography clinics, children's activities, a snow sculpture contest, and more. All activities except for the archery biathlon and cross-country ski races are free. Reece Stein, host of “At Your Leisure,” will do a presentation on a recent trip to Antarctica and a Bryce Canyon ranger will host a multimedia astronomy program at the visitor center.
