Matt and I got away for two nights in St. George. We stayed at the Inn on The Cliff and enjoyed a beautiful view off our balcony. There was a full moon the first night, and then the next morning, we had a gorgeous sunrise.
After Matt got a little bit of morning golf done, we spent the afternoon at Snow Canyon State Park. In the evening, we went to see the new Jane Austen movie "Emma". What a interesting area this state park is to explore. We only did short hikes, but still had lots of fun together. We started with a short walk up to Jenny's Canyon. It's a slot canyon only maybe a hundred feet long. But it was our first to be in, so it cool enough for us.
Then we found the Pioneer Names trail where some guys had signed their names with wagon wheel grease in the 1800s.
The last hike was a bit longer and super easy called Johnson's Canyon, and luckily we were there the week before it closed for the season. It leads up to an arch.
On the second day, after a yummy breakfast at the Bear Paw Cafe, we drove out of town and headed for Kolob Canyon. It's part of Zion National Park, but it's accessed right off of I-15 north of St. George. Matt had never driven through this part before, but I had when I was around age 19 with my parents and younger siblings. Way back then in 1991ish, I had named a rock formation "Butt Crack Canyon", and we've always remembered that funny name. I finally got to see it again, and pointed it out to Matt. What an incredible place that area is! So amazing.
