Follow the River

Our routine since the grandkids have gone home is to sleep a little later, have a relaxing morning, then some type of activity in the warmth of the afternoon.  Yesterday we decided to drive to a pecan farm, then hike at Red Cliffs National Recreation area.  Last year, on our last day in St. George, we had spent an afternoon there exploring an Indian ruins site.  This time we hiked two trails, the Silver Reef Trail which leads to some dinosaur tracks.  Our second trail, Red Reef follows along Quail Creek to a small waterfall and beyond the waterfall it leads into a narrow canyon.

Can you see the dinosaur track?

Hi guys! I'm so terrible at commenting on the blog, but I check it every single day and love to see all the pictures and read about your adventures. You have picked the best time of our WI winter to be there. I've noticed people here are a bit depressed and crabby with all the cold and snow. We are ok since we had a long break in the warm sun. :) Enjoy the rest of your time there!
Love you - Vanessa and Greg

That looks like a very cool place. As Vanessa said, people area a bit crabby here....I may or may not be one of them. :o) Sounds like it's going to be a little better next week. Sad that we're celebrating 20s. We are really really looking forward to our FL trip in less than one month!
