I know I am late with my blogging about this hike, but the views were good, the trail was even better – so I still decided to share. It all started as usual – Adrian sent a message about the coming hike and several individuals as well as their dogs decided to celebrate Easter by challenging their muscles and getting more in touch with nature.<\/p>\n

We drove Kolob Terrace Road to the first top valley and parked the cars by a sandy path on the right, leading through the fields towards very pretty looking rocks:<\/p>\n

There on the top there was a surprise – I love surprises and who doesn’t. It was a pond with water and swamp plants in it:<\/p>\n

We had our lunch here and the dogs had their fun. the view to the other side, the one we started from:<\/p>\n
