Catching up here. Some nice photos even in the snow. Weather happens, what can you do? Sounds like you made the best of it. Been there, done that.
What is that canyon at Lake Mead? I know some of them nearer LV. BTW, Jim Boone (birdandhike.com) has documented an insane number of Lake Mead hikes. I keep getting drawn back to Bowl of Fire, perhaps because it was the very first desert hike I did countless years ago, carrying my then 3 1/2 year old daughter on my back, on our first (of many) trips without mom (who did not have the academic scheduling flexibility I did). Anyway, that looks like a very pretty area.
All in all, you covered a lot of area on this road trip, and I bet you have more that you haven't posted.
Oh, there's also a lot of good stuff in the St. George area, generally on the west side of Zion, though I prefer Hurricane, because it is more quiet.
