This past weekend was a great one for us. Saturday we left for St. George and made reservations at the Wyndham. On the way, we made a pit stop in Cedar City to hike a peak called, Iron Mountain. That night we got into our hotel room and it was one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. The following morning we woke up early and headed to Water Canyon near Hildale, UT (a polygamist community). Canaan Mountain was our goal - it was a 18 mile hike in some crazy terrain.
Looking from the summit of Iron Mountain.
Water Canyon - the springs were leaking through both sides of the canyon, making the walls drip with water. There was also a stream running through the middle of the canyon, making small waterfalls. 
This is still part of the trail, we are now higher on the mountain and the terrain had changed quite dramatically. This is just one of the sandy river beds we had to cross.
The trail goes right next to these White Domes.
...and we finally made it to the top!!!
That place looks so amazing! I'm jealous you can hike 18 miles, that's crazy. Keep doing your blog, it's fun to see pics of all the places you guys go!
