Our favorite Hike!!

Dewey's Birthday was two weekends ago. (I know I'm a little behind in my blog posts.) Cassidi was able to come down for the weekend. It just happened to be the perfect time of year to do one of our favorite hikes in St. George. We only have a two month window every year to go. To early and there is too much water. To late and the water is gone and its way too hot.
It really is a stunning hike with red rocks and pools of water.
Dew, Cass, Luke and Kolby at the first water pool.

This is the top but to get here you have to climb.......

This!
Dewey wore our hiking backpack that in previous years has carried the boys but for this year was used for this spot. (Kolby was able to hike the whole hike on his own other then this area) I went across first then Dewey carried Luke over and went back and brought Kolby over. Kolby is just looking around smiling the whole time.
Cassidi had her own way of climbing across.

There is a small slot canyon that you can keep hiking if you are willing to drop in and swim at times. Cassidi and I went as far as we could without swimming, just beautiful.
The boys had a blast jumping in and splashing in the stream.

Red red rocks and sun, whats better then that?
Luke showing off is dive moves.

Would you ever guess the water is literally two inch's deep?

A beautiful woman with a beautiful backdrop.
And one picture of me climbing back down. I'm sure its bad lighting or something my legs can not possibly be that white :)

Cass coming down with a better view of the waterfall.
And one last picture by the bottom pool.


We all had so much fun, a wonderful day.

That looks a really hard hike to do with the boys but they look like they handled it easily and loved it...you are so adventurous and it looks SO beautiful there and worth the hard effort to climb up!

Take care,
Anna

Wow, that looks incredible. I am not much of a hiking person, but wish I was. I went for a long trek through the mountains in Thailand when I was just there, and was dying by the end but loved it!
