We’ve had an amazing hiking weekend! In total, we all have hiked 12 miles in 2 days!! Brittany and Cole had such a great time this weekend…Cole says he loves hiking! He only got a little tired on the way back to the car but still he walked it all! We sure do love Utah…

Not far from Cedar City, about a 1 mile south of Kanarraville, Spring Creek exits the Hurricane Cliffs. Just before the south edge of this town, a dirt track leaves the main road to the east, curves south and follows beneath the cliffs to the canyon mouth, a point identifiable from a distance by a…

This past Saturday, we visited Snow Canyon State Park in Saint George. What a beautiful place!
