We have spent the last two days in St George hanging with the Rays, they are the best tour guides to the vicinity and as an added bonus know the best local hikes. We’ve had to delay pickle ball because of high winds, Dick didn’t seem at all disappointed.
Yesterday we hiked The Lower Sand Cove Trail to the peak. The trail was a short 2 mile to the peak, although uphill, and was highlighted by a vortex at the rim. We ate lunch with the cairns and hiked back down and after picking up groceries for dinner enjoyed the best naps of our lives. Altitude = nice naps.

Now that’s a cairn.
Pro hiker tip…try to find down hill only hikes.
Joanie and Brenda…ain’t no high altitude gonna stop their conversations.
Now that’s a vortex.
Dick…”so if I climb in, how do I get out?”
Just a little further…
Help, how did I get over here?
Oh what a night.

Excellent report and pictures. Would you give the Ray’s high ratings

Great photos! I love red rock country. Certainly the biggest vortex I have ever seen. Amazing! What the heck? Is there a geologist in the house?
