Holiday Hikes

What better way to relax during the holidays . . . take a hike or two. We have so many great trails near our hometown. The Confluence Trail System is located between Hurricane and La Verkin with 4 different trail heads. To the west of Hurricane, Quail Creek State Park offers many recreational opportunities in a very scenic location; here we enjoyed a New Years Eve hike.  There are several trails for hiking and mountain biking. Swimming, camping, boating, and fishing are available for a fee. With our mild winter weather it's a great time to get out and explore.

The Confluence is where the Virgin River, Ash Creek and La Verkin Creek merge



Nice brickwork on the old Power Plant building

It was very peaceful listening to the river as we hiked along

There are some very large Cottonwood trees in the canyon

Chipper enjoys exploring with us, he is 11 months old 

The trails are marked well

Large basalt cliffs tower over the canyon
