Hiking Snow Canyon

Hi All,

Scott and Sam joined us today and tomorrow to get a taste of St. George area.  We spent the afternoon hiking some of the trails at Snow Canyon State Park.  The first trail we explored was Lava Flow.  The picture at the right shows Ben and Hunter in a Lava Flow.
 The next trail (shown above) was called Pioneer Names.  As you reach the sandstone cliff we saw hikers and rock climbers.  As you look up you can see the names of three early pioneers that have put their name on the wall using axle grease.  One of the names of the Morman settlers was dated 1894.  The picture at the right is the last trail we hiked.  It was called Jenny's Canyon.  After a short hike we reached a slot canyon and another branch of the trail took us to the overlook.  Hunter discovered a lizard hiding in the rocks and spent time trying to catch it, but the lizard won out. Scott and Sam and family leave tomorrow.  We have enjoyed the grandkids' visit and had lots of adventures.  Many memories for them and us.  That's part of our reason in being in St. George.  We are over the halfway point of our stay and it still feels new and fun.  We look forward to Jeff and Ruth arrival on the weekend.

Goodbye for now, love to all.

Bob and Deb
