Looks doable to me so far. I put a post about it in the Canyoneering section.

This looks very photogenic. It just depends on how wet we want to get. Wading would be inevitable.

That's the same canyon on Shane's site.
BTW, I'm a member of the "circle of friends," so I can get access to all areas of Shane's site.
Kanarra looks like a great canyon, I've never done it, but would love to. |

Depends on my work schedule, and if you guys are gonna do Kanarra or not.
I've been applying to different companies offering summer internship positions. Haven't landed one yet, but I should find out sometime this week (hopefully soon). |

I know I would really like to hit it. I'm wondering when would be the best time to do it on this trip.
We probably can't do it on the way in or out of St George, because our bikes would be left at the trailhead on our vehicles, unless we locked them up pretty good.
It's probably only a half hour drive there anyways, from St George.
Man, I'm tired of typing St. George. |

Your bike not up to par? Do you want to try some full suspension for these trails?
Here are some rental sites from St. George, to Zion, to Cedar City.

My vote is for our main Mt. Bike Trail (which we haven't decided on yet) on Saturday morning. Then go back, put the bikes away, regroup, exchange gear. Saturday afternoon we hit a slot. It doesn't get dark until like 9:00pm. Sunday morning we could do GVE, just like last trip. :2thumbs:
I didn't even have to type St. you know. :lol8:
BTW....I am picking up my new rockshox today! I will install them tonight! :bootyshake:

Let's go with that. Now, all we have to decide is what buffet we want to eat at Saturday night. :popcorn:
I'm guessing 6 of us for this trip, BTW.

I will plan on it, just in case. If you can then we could hit a different bike trail that day. That would be sweet! :cool2: |

The trails around Brian Head look epic. I have heard so many good things about those trails. They may be to high for this trip. But I will be hitting a few of them sometime this year. I have not got to them the last few years. Check out the link under Southern Plateau: http://www.utahmountainbiking.com/trails/idx-sout.htm
Check out these trails in that section:
Blowhard Mountain
Bunker Creek
The C Trail
Dark Hollow
An the list goes on............. :popcorn: IMO these are the best trails near St. George. |

So, I guess you take the lift up to the top? Those look like a blast. Whether we do them this time or not, we should try to do them this year.
I wonder how much time out of the day it would take for travel... Isn't Brian Head/Cedar City about 45 minutes outside of St. George? Maybe we could catch one on the way home sunday morning?
These Warner Valley ones look kind of cool. The Cholla loop says it has some technical slickrock, and it's just outside of town. The thing that's throwing me off, is the 8 year old in the picture though.
This one looks a little too easy, but it says it is fast.

This one looks a little more technical.
