Beautiful Bryce Canyon

I decided to take Sue up to Cedar City to see the Diary of Anne Frank at the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City to celebrate her birthday last weekend. Needless to say that we had a great time. We had a nice dinner and the play was great. On Saturday morning we decided that we wanted to take a ride over to Bryce Canyon and do some hiking. This place is gorgeous. Beautiful rock formations and colors. The town wasn't very full of tourists so we enjoyed ourselves without having to battle for space. We took a nice scenic ride home and had a wonderful time...life is good!

Sue looking as great as ever!

Taylor Creek Wash Hike

Sue and I are finally ready to get back to regular hiking after taking time off since Labor Day allowing me to recover from my knee injury and to take a break from the brutal summer heat. 

This was our first hike and it's one of my all time favorites. It's about 20 miles north of our house up Kolob Canyon. Once you get to the trail head there is a steep decline onto the trail 98 steps below. The trails follows the wash/stream for 2 1/2 miles and ends at a double arch grotto. The trails crosses the stream about 75 time each way, but the water is low enough that you never really get wet. The scenery is beautiful as you are constantly in a fairly narrow canyon. There are even two cabins form the 1930's still in place.

Sherri, Talon, Addy, and Brett joined us on the hike. Annie sat this one out because she wasn't feeling great because she is PREGNANT! Woo Hoo. Enjoy these photos
