Thanks for all the comments!
As i mentioned in my previous post:

I was extremely underwhelmed by the campsite at Wahweap, and the fact that Glen Canyon NRA backcountry roads were closed due to the weather. "At least I have Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley to look forward to." was my thought at the time. I mean I didn't come all the way out here for nothing!
I woke up the next morning to falling sleet. Apparently a huge storm rolled thru the area and more was on the way from Flagstaff. DOH! Why did I not check the forecast before heading out!? According to the ranger at Glen Canyon Dam, a significant portion of the road for my trip back to Moab was covered in snow (Blanding to Moab). Arrghh.. that means no time for Antelope Canyon.
I started heading back towards Moab. Passed by the Lower Antelope Canoyon parking lot and didn't see any car there so that made my decision to skip it a bit easier to swallow
I stopped by Monument Valley to check it out and took some pictures. The trail was closed but I could ride as passenger in the tour vehicles. It didn't seem worth it to me in the poor weather.
Something irked me about the area being so commercialized. However, I suppose they are the real natives to the land and whatever income is good for the people so I can't complain. Still the miles and miles of fencing was not something I enjoyed seeing as i drove thru the area.
I had to take another picture of the Forrest Gump road on the way back. This time in dramatic storm clouds.
Then I experienced the worst road condition starting from Mexican Hat all the way to Moab. Whiteout condition and snow covered road for the entire drive, with a semi tailing for me a good portion of it.
After 6 hours of driving finally made it back to Moab! Got a motel for the night and coordinated with my buddy in Dillon, CO for meeting up on NYE. This meant I had another full day to spend in the Moab area. More storm the next day so perhaps I can put my snow shoes to good use.
