Hooray for my 3 "girl"(we are young at heart) cousins, and hooray for our being able to have our 4th annual Cousin Capers at one cousin's home in St. George, Utah! Even if we can go 10 more years, we will never get enough of this stunning area. Each year we have chosen different hikes and destinations.
This year, our first hike was in the "White Rocks"wilderness area in Snow Canyon.
Early on the trail:

We spent a day up at Pine Valley. This area is desert also, but the panorama looks refreshing:
Another hike was in the Chuckwalla wilderness area. This is a perfect example of the terrain, where any kind of a "trail" is hard to find:
We spent our long day scrambling over areas like this:
And we were rewarded with exceptionally varied scenes, close at hand: (next 4 pics)
Lucky me! I could take my morning walk from my cousin's front door right in Snow Canyon.
My walks were in the cool of each morning, and the rising sun made highlights and shadows of different views:
It rained one day, but was not a negative, as I still got photos in the morning:
