Snow Canyon Overlook via Red Mountain Trailhead

In early January we hiked the Hurricane Canal with Darrell and a small group from our church.  Darrell enjoyed the time of fellowship and decided to plan and lead a group to the Snow Canyon Overlook.  We had driven by this turnout many times over the years, but had never stopped and done this hike - so we signed "on board" for the outing.  The 2.4 mile trek (one-way) took us to an amazing vista of Snow Canyon and the surrounding area.  Thanks, Darrell, for inviting us along!

Although it's a popular trail, it was fairly quiet for a Saturday 

Starting out on the trail . . . 
it's a bit rocky so watch your step 

Pine Valley Mountains off to the north and east

We've arrived . . . 
Wow!  What a great view of Snow Canyon

We had 14 hikers and 1 dog in our group

Awesome views in every direction

Here's our group

Almost back to the car . . .
After twenty plus years in the area, it's good to know we can still find new places to explore
