We had a Saturday night free several weekends ago so we decided to finish the Taylor Creek hike in Kolob Canyon that we had started a couple of months back. Although it was beautiful and totally worth seeing, I think we were a little too zealous when we started the hike. We didn't begin until 6 p.m. and it was four and a half miles. With a lot of hurrying to get back at midpoint, we barely made it to our car before it was dark. The whole way back Lucy was on the brink of tears and my body was exhausted with no time to sit and rest. I am glad we did it but it was a good learning experience of what our family is capable of doing. No more adventures that long and that late in the day again. Like I said though, we saw some really beautiful scenery. We crossed a stream probably 15 times and were right up against the canyon walls the whole time.
We also saw two historic cabins from the 1930's along the trail. They were from two men who had built these cabins then had to leave for a while to serve missions and such. When they came back, they found that their land had been confiscated for the Kolob Canyon Monument. Stinks for them...
Cabin #1
Cabin #2
And for the finale.....the Double Arch Alcove! Amazing!!!
