| This is where our adventure begins |
 |
| We forded Center Creek . . . that's a lot of water! |
 |
| All of a sudden there were formations everywhere |
 |
| Lots of different shapes and colors |
 |
| It was 39° when we arrived at the Trailhead ... no wonder there was ice in the creek |
 |
| Very cool |
 |
| The sun is coming over the ridge as we start out on the trail (8,550 ft) |
 |
| The views along the trail were amazing, we are looking north toward the Tushar Mountains |
 |
| This could be a map of the trail, but it's just evidence of insect damage |
 |
| Awesome formations we enjoyed along the trail |
 |
| At less than a mile, I would call this trail short and steep . . . 800 ft elevation gain |
 |
| Kent couldn't resist proving that he could do a chin-up |
 |
| The trail levels out here . . . we are getting close to our destination |
 |
| Our first glimpse of Hendrickson Lake |
 |
| We are at about 9300 ft. elevation |
 |
| It didn't take long for Kent to hook this Brook Trout |
 |
| And another Brookie, then he released them both |
 |
| We might have to return next Fall when the leaves are changing |
 |
| Time for a quick selfie . . . today is my birthday! |
 |
| We hiked around the lake, there are a lot of great places to camp |
 |
| Time to head back down the trail |
 |
| More great views |
 |
| It almost felt like a mixture of both Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks |
 |
| We never saw another car coming or going |
 |
| Left Second Hand Canyon Road is an amazing scenic drive |
 |
| Pussy willow catkins along the creek |
 |
| Center Creek was really flowing and it was cold |
 |
| Look at the size of this wild Rainbow Trout |
 |
| Beautiful coloring |
 |
| One last peek before he went back into the creek |
 |
| We're just about out of the canyon and on our way back to Parowan |
 |
| Parowan's Fall Fest features 50 Scarecrows on Main Street |
 |
| Most of them are cute enough to chase away scary spirits, or so they hope |
