Summer Fun!!!!!!!!

We have decided that this summer we are going to take our children on some field trips to some fun places that are close to Cedar City. Cedar really has some interesting sights and they are right under our nose and so we are going to enjoy them this summer. On our first outing we traveled up cedar canyon toward Navajo Lake but turned and went to Cascade falls. The sign there stats that the water leaves Navajo through the lava rock at the east end and goes through a series of sink holes and comes out through this wall of rock. It is very spectacular the water is so clear and comes out the side of this mountain, it also stated that the water from Cascade Falls ends up in Lake Powell (very interesting). The view was amazing you can see forever....

Here David and I are standing on the platform next to where the water comes out..

This was a big old tree that David thought was pretty cool looking.....
This is the water as it runs down the mountain side.

Looks like you've been enjoying a fun summer! Isn't it amazing how much you can take for granted-- I look at those pictures of the canyons and red rocks and how beautiful they are, and there is NOTHING like that out here!! No wonder people travel from all over the world just to see it.

What a great idea to find fun places right under your nose! I think that's my goal for this summer...and probably the next...and the next...and the next to find fun things to do around our town. Thanks for the idea! I'm glad you're having such a good time.
