Southern Utah is beautiful and there are SO many things close by to explore! Within an hour of driving, the scenery and weather will drastically change and you'll be amazed it's only an hour from your home. We made a goal to be more outdoorsy and active along with our move to St. George. It feels so good that we have kept up that goal.
We planned the first camping trip in our marriage (embarrassed it's finally happening after two years). A co-worker suggested we go to Kolob Canyon because it is more elevated and it was going to be 113 degrees! She said that the drive is beautiful and explained how to find the road. I couldn't find any other solid information about it online. So I told Eric we were going camping for one night and then doing a hike the next day. I could tell Eric was way skeptical.
So we have a go pro and I have never really tried anything with it but I wanted to video a majority of this trip and make a montage video of our memories. I failed. Watching all the video now and I think that it's incredibly awkward! Maybe I'll still try to piece some moments together because it was so much fun! But we also took a ton of pictures!
We found the road and immediately lost cell service. We drove for an hour until we found the campsites and nothing disappointed. We lucked out choosing this beautiful spot. It was also nice that it was not very busy on a Monday night. We set our tent up, collected fire wood to get our fire going, started dinner and enjoyed the evening together roasting starburst!
Overlooking Zion's National Park!
We can't wait for many more trips! There were also trailheads I didn't realize existed along the road to the camp ground. We will be returning back and exploring more of Kolob!
My word, this looks so wonderful!
