Family Vacation

Recommended Posts

Not sure how many pix I can post on a single thread, but just wanted to share our Summer vacation fun this year. Last year, we had a ball exploring Southern Utah, so this year we planned to retrace parts of our journey and add some new trails. Funny thing is, our original plan was to do the Sunrise 3D shoot, haul up into Utah, to Panguitch as fast as we could, stay over and then head to Fish Lake.

 

Here are some pix from the shoot.

After the shoot, we headed for Utah. The plan was to spend the night at either Lee's Ferry or Page, and then head North. We wound up at Lone Rock on Lake Powell, just a mile or so N. of the AZ/UT border. We only intended to stay one night, and almost got stuck in the soft sand. However, waking up to an amazing Lake Powell sunrise, we decided to stay for one more night, then another, then another...Lake Powell is amazing.

One more night...

So, after our brief "stayover" turned into several star-filled nights on Powell, we eventually made our way North through Kanab and up to Panguitch. Based on last year's fishing, we knew the best bet was to rent a boat and attack the fish head on.

One more from Panguitch, the Elusive Tiger trout...Even the guy who rented us our boat for the day, who lives there has not yet caught a tiger, but my boys wanted so badly to see one tiger landed, and God made it so...

So, we take a day trip from Panguitch to Kanarra Creek, about 9 miles South of Cedar City. One of the best hikes we've ever taken...
