Best of Both Worlds


Parowan, Utah is situated at the border of two physiographic provinces:  To the west is the Basin and Range country, while the Colorado Plateau is due east.  The nice thing about this is that you can have the best of both worlds.  If it is cold, you can ski on the Markagunt.  If it is too warm for skiing, you can scramble up the ridges overlooking the Escalante Desert.  I was on the skis on Thursday, but the sun was out and the snow was gloppy.  On Friday I opted for a couple of miles on a ridge near the Gap.
