Easy walk in the Paria River wash. Cold but sunny day. Temperatures noticeably varied by about 10 degrees (F) between shaded and sunny areas of the hike. We had to cross the shallow running Paria River numerous times, either walking on stones (some of which we set in the river), or getting wet while crossing the river. Due to sub-freezing overnight temperatures ice formed along the waterway. Due to time limitations we didn't reach the slot portion of Paria Canyon.
