Hike to Signal Peak, Washington County's Highest Peak

 We started the trail in Pine Valley.
 We invited Andrew's friends, Ryan and Nefi to join us.
 Overlook to the South East on our way up.



 Time for a rest.
 Come on, Andrew. You are the one who is supposed to know which way we go!
 A little bit of snow left at the higher elevations in may.

 We made it! Time for lunch and a rest.
 Dawson checks out the view from up above.

 There was a log to sign our names in at the top.
 Andrew looks out towards Zion Park.

 Dan climbs a tree for a better view.
 Shelly is exhausted and takes a rest at the top!
 Andrew relaxes and rests when we finally reach the bottom.
This was a long, hard, steep hike. I don't think I'll do it again. Just check it off my list.
It was beautiful though.

Four Wheeling Camping Trip to Mail Drop Canyon





















This is where we parked the truck and unloaded and began our journey. We had a great time and enjoyed a nice full moon as we camped in a beautiful spot close to the mail drop canyon that overlooks down into Zion Park. We started at a turnoff before you get to Colorado City.
