St. George- Snow Canyon

Presidents Day Weekend we took the family down to St. George. Unfortunately, the weather did not fully cooperate. We did get one absolutely gorgeous day on Friday and the was the day we went and hiked around at Snow Canyon State Park. If you have never been there, like us, you really should go. The kids were really good and Kate even managed to walk the entire 3 to 4 hours while we were there. ( She got carried for maybe a total of 10 minutes only.) Here are the kids and I at the start of our longest hike that was about one and 1/2 miles.

At the end there was a pretty large arch.


There was a very large sand dune that we all enjoyed taking off our shoes
and running around in. The sand was so fine and soft, we had
a great time playing in it.

Here is Kate sitting on the
smallest rock and taking a rest. She sat down and said "I just need to take a
little rest here." The boys totally left us in the dust, but we caught up to them.


This is a picture of what you see at the end of the Pioneer Name trail. This hike was a short, easy hike and at the end was all these names written with axle grease by pioneers dating was back to the late 1800's. It was pretty neat. We all thought this was one of our favorites.

This was a fun hike also, it was called Jenny's Canyon trail and led to narrow canyon you could walk inside of.

We had a great time and will definitely go back again some time. The area is beautiful and they even have a campground. I think the kids thought is was a fun time.
