Hurricane Cinder Knolls River Hike

We started the New Year off right with an easy hike in our home town of Hurricane, Utah.  The   Hurricane Cinder Knolls are part of the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve and there are a variety of trails crisscrossing the area.  Whether you chose to hike up one of the Cinders Knolls or head for the Virgin River you will have some amazing views.    


The Trail Head is located on 600 North

Although it was a cloudy day, the temperature was perfect

Colorful moss clinging to the lava rocks

We are headed for the lava formations in the river below

It didn't take Kent long to find a chunk of lava to climb

We're looking forward to some good hikes this year

We'll have to come back when the river isn't muddy

We didn't see the windows until the hike out

No flowers this time of year, just pretty rocks

Back up on top with views of Sandstone Mountain

We could just barely see the snow covered
