On Tuesday, the hiking bug bit again. After some serious discussion, we decided to head out to Snow Canyon once again. There are a couple trails we had not hiked yet. So the one we chose is called Three Ponds. It was a 3.5 mile round trip hike, which is just fine with us, EXCEPT, we should have taken the park brochure at its word when in the description of the trail, it mentioned "deep sand". Who knew that nearly the entire 3.5 miles would be deep sand! It was very neat to be off the beaten path a bit. We had actually been in the area last year, only it was on horseback when we had that adventure with Jeff and Ruth.
We were hiking in what the locals call a "wash". It is basically a dry river bed. Certainly looked to us like it had been a very long time since there was anything "washing" down this riverbed! We gave it our best effort, but about 3 miles into the hike both our legs were starting to complain. We headed back to the car, part of the way via a service road!
We are looking forward to showing Karen and Kenn this pretty park when they arrive next week.
Hugs to Everyone,
Deb and Bob
