Show By Marta Peterson 834-5306 Spring break vacations for college students have ended, but the public schools are just starting to give their enrollees spring holidays. The school vacations and the improved weather conditions are working in tandem to encourage visitors to come to Bryce Canyon. Also, the lodge, restaurant, gift shop and general store will be in operation on April fourteenth and that occurrence will definitely increase visitation. Charlie Peterson and John Morlock just completed the end of March snow survey and came up with some great calculations and in i . i ii iiiii.i i in hi a conclusions from their data. The high country has 38 inches of snow with a very high water content. It is well above average. The snow this year was not dry and powdery, but heavy and wet. Just the kind of snow needed to bolster the water year statistics. The maintenance and interpretive divisions have a few of their seasonals entering on duty this week. Each pay period for the next month should see more and more seasonals coming to work at Bryce Canyon. The seasonals are a valued component of the Bryce Canyon staff, because they are the needed personnel to make sure the summer visitor is professionally accommodated. Tim and Alison Wright spent a week in Denver. Alison attended a Rocky Mountain Regional Office, course, while Time was able to do a little sightseeing. The weather did not cooperate as it snowed most every day. |
