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

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