I need a few suggesitons on hikes near St. George for tomorrow (I can't decide - I'm in a 'not assertive' mode currently.

I was thinking some like Red Cliffs (owned by the BLM) and go swimming in the cold water there or something like the waterfalls off of Gunlock Reservoir or something like that.

I'll take whatever suggestions (especially new ones) you can throw at me.

Or...I can take some pictures of some petroglyphs that NO ONE knows about except for me - since I found them and there is no signs, no footprints, no trash, no guides - I even asks the Petroglyph society of utah (or whatever it is called) to see if they have heard of them and nope - they don't. Their pretty close to the Kolob Permit station too - well, relatively.

hmm...let me know what you think

Hey, that would be cool. You should take a ton of pics, but don't give away the location. Then, that would make everybody come through you if they wanted to see them. You'd have the exclusive. :2thumbs:

It's a good way to keep traffic/pollution/vandalism down on these kind of things.

Other than that, the only other stuff to do on foot down there is Snow Canyon, Zion (including Kolob), and possibly Kanarra Creek. It may be too early for Kanarra Creek (high water flow?) I tried it once, but didn't make it. I'd love to try again though.

I have hiked in that Red Cliffs Reserve you mentioned. That's usually where I camp when I head down that way.

K- this is really dumb. So I went there this weekend and I was going to bring my camera and I set it down on my bed so I would pick it up when I left - and so when I finally headed up the hill I was searching for the camera, then it hit me that I freakin forgot to pack it! SOOOOO, this weekend I am doing another trip there and take lots of pics for yall.

You da man. Besides, I suppose it's a cool enough place to visit again, eh?

well - I think so. It's about a 20min hike from I-15 on rough terrain and I take people who haven't seen it before on it just to show them their lots of stuff out there that people still don't know about...

Alrighty, so I'm back. I got lots of pictures of the Rock Art, and a few random pictures around Leeds, Quail Creek, and Red Cliffs Recreation Site.

Give me a few minutes to upload all of them (or at least the good ones) - there is about 90pics at about 393MB. I have a Canon SD500 digital camera @ 7.1 Megpix - so you should be able to zoom in pretty close.

Someone asked me about these petroglyphs about three or four years ago. Or at least they sound like the same ones from your brief description. I've never been to them. Actually I had totally forgot about them until your post..... but at least a couple other folks know about them. I can't wait to see your pitures. I really enjoy rock art.

I do know of a couple other good rock art sites in the area but they are on private property. There seems to be a lot of it in the area.

it was me who asked you on your yahoo club - 3 years ago actually. And "officially" no one knows about them because I talked to the BLM of that area and the owner of the farm there about it and they have no idea. The BLM wants me to take them there sometime. I dunno. I don't know what they would do if I told them. I got the GPS coordinates to it today. Still hold on the pics for a moment
