If You Could Hie To Kolob...



Tuesday, June 24, 2008. This evening the New Harmony Young Men/Young Women went on a hike to Taylor's Creek in Kolob Canyon. Obviously I am not one of the young ones, but someone has to slow these kids down. We had a great time and were treated to cold watermelon when we returned to the trailhead. A couple of the leaders found out they needed to add a little more walking to their

weekly routine but I am sure they will recover in due time and be ready to go again next year. It was hot as we made our way up the trail to Double Arch Alcove in the early evening, but by the time we returned it had cooled of just enough to be really pleasant.

Coming back, when you turned around and looked at the cliffs behind you it was stunning! The remaining light from the sun slipping behind Pine Valley Mountain left the Kolob Fingers glowing in a brilliant vermillion radiance.

The top photo is the group about half way there. The bottom one is of one of the cool Young Men's President in his Indiana Jones hat, posing for a photo at the old Fife Cabin along the trail.
