Hiking Snow In Sunshine
Slot in Snow Canyon |
Our condolences go out to people on the
East Coast who are endangered or suffering because of “superstorm”
Sandy.
In Utah we are enjoying massive
sunshine and seriously mid temperatures. We may see record warm temps
later this week.
This is always a great time of year to
hike in southern Utah. For the next week or so, hiking conditions
will be excellent all over the state, because we have high pressure
and a nice weather pattern. After that, northern Utah will start to
get winter-like weather but our low deserts will continue to be very
attractive for all kinds of outdoor adventure.
I hiked in Snow
Canyon today and had a great time. Snow is a Utah
state park located near St.
George. It is famous for its sand dune and red rock scenery. It
has a very nice picnic area and campground. It is popular for hiking,
biking and horseback riding year-round.
I'm still on a quest to find an
photograph ancient Native
American rock art and I have found several impressive panels in
the Snow
Canyon area. Today we did a short, easy hike into a narrow slot
where we saw many interesting faded images.

Talking to another hiker, I learned
about a new panel in the area were we were hiking. We did not have
time to track it down today but I will get back and find it. It is
always nice to have an excuse to get down and hike in the sunshine.
It is easy to hike and golf, with
several famous championship
courses located near the state park. Tuacahn
Theatre is located located just on the edge of the part. I
usually get down to St George 2-3 times every winter because it is
so nice and there is so much to do.
