Scout Cave

The final installment of "Different Things to do in St. George" is another hike. A new one though. We decided to try out the hike to Scout Cave. It is right outside of Snow Canyon. We hike to Johnson's Canyon all the time which is the same trail head. We have always wondered what Scout Cave was and this time we found out. It was a cool hike, harder then expected, and definitely not something to do in the hotter weather as you were hiking out in the middle of the desert most of the time.

This is the extent of the cave. It is more like a big grotto (yep, I just wanted to say grotto) than a cave but it is cool. Not deep but really tall.


Lizzie does not like caves at all, as is very evident in the picture below.


As you can see in this picture, the cave is very remote. The funny thing is that you can't actually walk through the neighborhood in the background, you do a three mile hike to circumnavigate the defenses. They have fences, gates, a special forces team, and a sniper or two. The people that built that neighborhood went on to make the Green Zone in Baghdad. It totally makes sense though, you know how dangerous those hiking families can be.



And finally here are a couple pictures of cute kids in a cool cave.




I think that is all from our trip. As you can see we did a bunch of new stuff as well as a lot of the normal things. Hopefully you can tell from the last hundred posts or so though that it was a great trip. (As you can probably tell this is Nick)
