Have you hiked the Taylor's Creek Trail in Kolob Canyon?


Taylor's Creek Trail is located in Kolob Canyon at the north end of Zion National Park. The Taylor's Creek Trail is full of breathtaking views from the massive rock cliffs to the beautiful riverbed teaming with green plants and wildlife. The hike can be done by almost anyone dew to the fact that it follows the riverbed and crosses relatively level terrain. At the end of the trail you will find the impressive Double Arch Alcove (pictured above), this was personally my favorite part of the entire experience. The hike is 5 miles round trip so be sure to give yourself around 4 hours to complete it. For more information on Kolob Canyon you can visit the official website HERE. For directions to the trail head click on the link below.

Lions Mouth Cave, Cedar City

 Lions Mouth Cave petroglyph's are located just 20 minutes west of Cedar City, Utah. Lions Mouth Cave is an awesome place not just to observe petroglyphs, its also a great place to rock climb or simply explore the area. The hike to Lions Mouth Cave is only a short 10 - 15 minute hike making it great for everyone. The trail head is located just of the road on a well marked pullout. From there the trail winds is way through the juniper trees up to the large conglomerate rock that makes up the Lions Mouth. When you see it you will know why it has been given the name Lions Mouth. Enjoy!!!
 The  petroglyphs are located just below the Lions Mouth on the south side of the rock.
