Last year was my first time to visit St. George Utah. I fell in love with that city. Keep in mind is was April and not August. If I were old enough to retire and had my house paid off I would TOTALLY buy a winter home down there. This year we went on some awesome hikes. We went to a place called Pioneer Park which is above St George by the Dixie Rock. It had great view and lots of huge rocks for the kids to climb on. Sometimes the kids would get a little close to the edge and my toes would start to tingle, it happens when I get real nervous about heights.
Above are some of the view from Pioneer Park.
This is Snow Canyon. There were some great hikes there also. There were petrified sand dunes that they kids played on for quite a while. It was so amazing to see such awesome creations.
Ya, you guessed it, my toes were tingling when I saw Carter up there.
The rocks were nice and warm and Buster was ready for a nap!
This was at Pioneer Park, the pioneers had built a house inside one of the rocks.
We also rented 4-wheelers and went riding out at the an ATV area. We had a great time and were covered in red dust when we were finished. Carter enjoyed driving the 4 wheeler while we relaxed for a while.
This is a picture inside a lava cavern of some sort. It was so weird, you would be walking and come up to this big hole in the ground and there was a bunch of lava rocks and you could climb down into them and check things out. You could crawl into the caves and explore, but not a closterphobic person like me.
Ya, I hate snakes and this is what I thought was a stick, until I noticed it moving. Yes, it is a rattlesnake. Luckily I was up on a huge rock about 30-40 feet away. I felt the need to warn anybody on the area about the snake. That dang bugger ruined my whole day because then I went in the "watch" mode and I was always on the look out for any creepy crawly things. I can't wait to go back to St. George in June when Carter with be participating in Summer Games.

Annie, sounds like you had a great trip. The rocks are beautiful and have an interesting formation. Sounds like the boys enjoyed it. I didn't know you were into hiking. What do you plan to do on your next visit there? We really enjoyed Zions. Bryce was kind of a let down after Bryce's.
