Kanaraville Falls

I was on a bit of a hiatus the past few weeks. I was able to go to my parents for a little vacation before our family reunion. It was great, and we did so many things! It was a great fun-filled 3 weeks! I don't have all my pictures, but when I get them I'll do another post or two, but one of my favorite things we did while over there was a hike (we did a few) called Kanaraville Falls. If you're ever in southern UT and feel so inclined, this is a GREAT hike! Pretty easy, we took Kai on it and he did well, and it was beautiful! River hikes are so fun anyway (Narrows anyone?), and then adding slot canyons and waterfalls....can't beat that!

WARNING: Picture heavy post...I'd apologize but it's my blog so I can put as many on as I want :)

Start out in the river like this....


It starts to look like this in places...



Then you come across a place or two like this...



Stop to take a few pictures...




Get to the Slot Canyon and have your breath taken away...






Climb up the "ladder" that you had to reposition with the help of another group to even make it up...


Pass by the rainbow of algae and the awesome rock wall...



Hike a little further up the stream and find your lunch spot.




Cool off a bit (A.K.A. prove you're a man)...



Hike up 3 more minutes to the next slot canyon. Almost wish your son wasn't with you so you could keep going, but also glad he is so you can turn around and go home!

Enjoy a perfect day of hiking and enjoying God's beautiful country and good family to share it with. Love you guys!
