Pioneer Park, Saint George!

I have climbed on the Dixie Rock, but I had not yet explored the rest of the park! It is mostly scampering around on rocks! I LOVED IT! Here are some photos from this adventure!

 
A house!!

 
Quite a fun little place!

 
Sadly water is blocking the entrance and it was a chilly day!

 
Fire Pit!

 
How fun! Fire pit over looking Saint George!!!

 
Smoke stack

 
The back of the little house!

 
That would be the rock I call Dixie Rock! Great view from up there!

 
I decided to go visit that little arch!

 
I found more green moss!!!! I miss Oregon and Washington!

 
Looking at D mountain and Dixie Rock! (I really don't know their real names)

 
The Temple!

 
I have finally maneuvered my way to the arch!
 
The arch and surrounding rock is well marked!

 
The Arch!

 
I found a heart!!!

 
And my name!!!!

 
And a Cat!

 
These mountains are behind the city of Washington!
  
It seems that every hike I go on, I have a different view of this mountain!

 
The love mountain through the rock. I tried it with the D, but I didn't view it after I shot it, opps.

 
Two little arches!

 
A Basin! also well signed!

 
Random, I know! It made me laugh!

 
One last shot of the arch!
I really enjoyed this hike, though I now realize it is often harder to go down then up!

Hiking with Sarah, Matt, and Jeanine!!!

So while Sarah was down, we actually went on 2 hikes. For the 2nd one we were joined by our cousin and his wife, who were in the area celebrating their 2nd anniversary!

Awesome view! (makes me think Simba)

 
Good thing Sarah is here to hold up that rock!

 
Looking off to the future!

 
We made it to the arch!

 
Cool Moss! I haven't seen anything this green since my trip to Washington and Oregon!

 
Matt is sizing up the slope of that rock

 
He decided he could take it on!

 
Pondering his victory!

 
Jeanine and Sarah

 
Who knew Sarah had a naughty side!

 
The Girls!!!

 
There is an invisible force field keeping Matt on the correct side of the sign!

 
Johnson Arch!

 
Fun Relfection of Johnson's arch!

Little Fairies left Sarah a message to let her know she was still on the right trail!

 
the little fairies left me a note too, Note the arrows go over the little cliff. Mean Fairy!

 
I love wispy clouds!

 
Fun shot!

 
Looking into Snow Canyon!

 
Looking toward Saint George! You can almost see my neighborhood!
This was quite an enjoyable hike! I wish I had be able to do this hike with Mikes family when we had planned on it, sad rain!
