Don’t ya want to

come with me?

To a wonderland of Red Rock and Blue Skies. 

Well…..

just hang on for one wild ride.

Trust me – it’s worth it.

Trust me – you’ll love it.

  

Bring your water ‘cause it is dry and

Hot, HOT, HOT!!

The only water we saw,

and I wouldn’t let her drink it.

Look no Pollywogs.

Ya can’t drink it if there’s no Pollywogs

– isn’t papa proud of me right now.

 

Height has advantages in the canyons -

The taller you are the better, or so he told his sisters.

Her first time and she saved my life,

Belle save me I yelled!

-and she yelled back-

I’ve never been cayoneering before.

So glad I lived to tell about it.

Okay, now I think about it

It wasn’t

that close of a call

So don’t ya?

Don’t ya want to come with me.

I know an excellent tour guide,

and a bunch of crazies just waiting to go again.

 

FYI: this is Yankee Doodle Canyon

Trailhead - Take the road to Silver Reef from Leeds off of I-15 heading toward Pine Valley Mountain. About 8 miles up the dirt road there will be a pull-out on the right. Where you should find a cairn on the left side of the road. Follow the trail 100 yards until the canyon floor drops out abruptly. This Canyon can have water at certain times of year, and is rated a 3AI – so some canyoneering knowledge is needed.

Riot of Color

 

A long weekend, the Family, and a slot canyon.

What a great combination.

Slot Canyons in Southern Utah there is nothing else like them.

And when I say nothing else, I really mean it - Nothing Else!

Their spectacular beauty – and

the best surprises around every corner.

Not to mention the light

sweet, sweet light.

I promise I only have 200 hundred more photos to go

– I can’t get enough.

Well, maybe you can visit this charming hike and experience it for your self.

Kanarraville Creek Waterfall Trail  This incredible hike begins up behind the municipal water tank in the small town of Kanarraville, Utah.Take I-15 and just past Cedar City, you get off at the Kanarraville exit.

The frontage road takes you about 2 miles to the town. Once there, locate 100 North and follow it up to the water tank. Park and walk from there. The trail leading to the falls is obvious. Sooner or later your shoes are going to get wet. At the two water falls that we saw there are make shift ladders . If you are very careful you can climb up and over the waterfalls and continue upstream from there.

This is a family friendly hike – we saw kids as young as about six. Out and back, so let the kiddies set the pace and turn around when they are done.

This is a gem of a hike you do not want to miss.

Places, and times like this are a treasure.

And I know it is there waiting for me to visit again, and again.
