HIKING IN SOUTHERN UTAH NEAR APPLE VALLEY

We stopped in Apple Valley to visit our friends Gary and Pam.  Didn't stay but a couple of days but sure had a good visit with them.  We go back a long way.  Pam took us out to Little Creek Mesa which is a big mountain biking area just south of them.  Mountain biking is a big thing around this area.  Anyway, we had great time while there and then left and drove to Jackpot, NV and spent the night.  Up early the next morning and drove home.  Glad to be home but lots of work to do.

A couple of old trees growing out of the red rock.


Some of Zion National Park across the way.

Some bikers coming up out of the bottom.

This group was having a great time.


Lots of water this year.





Water and wind make some interesting designs in the rock.






Taking a break.

A father and his two kids seemed to be having a good time also.


Ducks were on this pond when we got there.

MORE PICTURES FROM LEE'S FERRY AREA

Here are some more pictures taken in the Lee's Ferry area.





Connie and I hiked up an unnamed slot canyon to get away from everyone. 

There was no trail and it was a bit of boulder hopping sometimes.

Zeph thinks we are crazy sometimes.






It took me a few minutes to get up and around this boulder.



You can see another boulder up above the white area. 


Looking out the canyon.

Connie and Zeph waiting for me.


We went up another canyon and this time Connie led.

Zeph was not impressed.


Some weird rocks up this canyon.
