The temps are finally cooling enough that we can get out hiking again.We decided to attemt to summit Pine Mountain at 10,365 ft. today.
The sign says 3 miles but it is straight uphill. The climb was brutal - steep,
rocky,steep, overgrown and did I mention steep?
The fall colors were fabulous.
The views looking back toward Zion were beautiful.
Half-way up.
Quail and Sand Hollow reserviors in the distance.
Climbing higher and higher.
A view from about a mile from the summit...
Which is where we turned around and started back down.

These are so pretty!! We are thinking about going down to St. George next weekend, we will let you know!
ReplyDeleteTo get bigger pictures, I changed the width of my blog and for each post I have to change the size of each picture to make them bigger. It's kind of a pain, but worth it I think! I can show you how if you want.
Great pictures, Cass laughed when she saw the one of M drinking from her camelback. One of these days we'll come and go with you.
ReplyDeleteI want to come too!
