What are ice caves? Glad you asked... Ice caves are caves in bedrock that host year-round ice. They differ from caves formed within ice, which are designated glacial caves. Ice caves are exceptional because they are not only scarce, but they are located far outside zones of permafrost. Duck Creek Ice Cave, formed in a sinkhole on the Markagunt Plateau, is an example of a cold trap ice cave.

Take the gravel road south from Duck Creek Visitors center. At the first junction, continue towards Navajo lake. At the end of the meadow, turn left at the junction, road ends at the trailhead. The trail is 3/4 of a mile long.
Named for the water fall that flows out of the side of the cliff, this trail is a local favorite. The trail provides spectacular views of Zion National Park and beyond. The water that flows over the falls is supplied by Navajo Lake through an underground lava tube or sink hole. The water flows a couple miles underground through the tube before exiting at the Virgin River Rim.
***Cameras are a must!

From the Duck Creek Visitor Center, head east on Highway 14 for 1.5 miles. Turn left onto Mammoth Creek Road (there is a sign). Follow for about 2.7 miles, then turn right onto a small dirt road. There is a small sign that says Bowers Flat, so keep an eye out. Follow the road for 0.6 miles until you find a small parking area. There is a sign for Bowers Cave at the trailhead. There is a short walk to the mouth of the cave.
Bower Cave is a bit smaller than Mammoth, but just as much fun. One thing our boys enjoyed was the ladder that allows entrance to the cave. There is a drop of about twelve feet to the floor of the cave, and a sturdy, but crooked ladder is the only way down. Once inside the cave, you’ll need light. This is because the entrance is very small and very little sunlight hits the cave floor. There are also several passages to explore that lead a good distance from the opening.Since Bower is more of a lava tube than a cave, it has a fairly high ceiling in most places and a nice round shape. The tube leads a short distance before turning back on itself until your back is to the entrance. From there, you can follow the tunnel for several hundred feet.The floor of the cave is rough and uneven, so keep the light focused down as you spelunk along. Further on the cave is very wet, so don’t wear shoes that you want to keep nice. There were many puddles and gummy mud is unavoidable if you wish to continue to the end of the cave. It was beautifully cool inside the cave, though. Bower Cave is home to seven different species of bats, so it is closed to protect them during the winter months from October to April.
***Bring flashlights. This cave has some dark sections.

Zion National Park is like the set of a movie that’s so grand you might think its fake. Follow the paths where native people and pioneers walked. Gaze up at massive sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red that soar into a brilliant blue sky. Experience wilderness in a narrow slot canyon. Zion’s unique array of plants and animals will enchant you as you absorb the rich history of the past and enjoy the excitement of present day adventures. he highlight of Zion National Park is an expansive canyon. Averaging 2,000 feet deep, Zion Canyon offers hiking opportunities along its floor in the 20 to 30 foot wide area known as The Narrows and the challenging area known as The Subway. Swimming is also permitted in this area of the Virgin River. The hiking in Zion National Park is world famous for its views of sweeping vistas, clear pools, natural arches, and narrow canyons. Trails range from half-mile paved hikes to multi-day backpacking routes, so hikers of all abilities will have days worth of hiking to explore. The majority of the popular trails like Angels Landing and Emerald Pools are in Zion Canyon, but there are many other fantastic (and less-traveled) trails in the Kolob and East Zion regions of the park. Plus, the region surrounding the park is home to a sprawling desert reserve and coveted multi-use trails that shouldn’t go unseen.
***Youth programs are designed specifically for families and children. Junior Ranger Activity Booklets are available at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center and Human History Museum.

Bryce Canyon National Park is the land of the “hoodoos”, or pillars of rock, that have both inspired and reverenced people for hundreds of years. Red Rocks, Pink Cliffs, and Endless Vistas
Hoodoos (irregular columns of rock) exist on every continent, but here is the largest concentration found anywhere on Earth. Situated along a high plateau at the top of the Grand Staircase, the park's high elevations include numerous life communities, fantastic dark skies, and geological wonders that defy description. Bryce Canyon National Park overlooks astonishing rock formations and is awe-inspiring.
***Bryce Canyon has a ranger program. Ranger programs are always free, though some (such as winter snowshoe hikes and full moon hikes) require advance sign-up or are subject to a lottery.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, lying west of Kanab, is a natural wonder of red sand dunes pressed against the edge of the Moquith Mountains. Venture onto a shifting sea of red sand. Changed by winds, these mountains and hills of sand can move as much as 50 feet per year. With areas for off-highway vehicle enthusiasts and those with non-motorized pursuits, the dunes offer adventures for all. Westerly winds carry tiny grains of sand, composed of eroded Navajo sandstone, and shapes them into high rippled dunes. The 3,730-acre state park is the only dune field on the Colorado Plateau. You can study the unique plants and animals living there including the rare Coral Pink beetle, or drive off-highway vehicles (OHVs) on over 2,000 sandy acres. Four-wheel riders like the South Boundary Trail and Sand Highway for family off-road fun.

Strawberry Point is a place locally renowned for its panoramic views down into Zion National Park and surrounding areas from on top of the Virgin River rim. Awesome view of lots of untouched wilderness and only a short hike from the road. There is a rocky area you can walk out on out over the edge to get an even better look at the valley. Reminds me of a smaller version of Bryce Canyon

This is a cool place to see petroglyphs up close. It is located about 22 miles outside of Cedar City, Utah. The petroglyphs are right along the side of the road, no hiking necessary. It is truly mystifying that these ancient writings are see here for us to see. Amazing!
The Parowan Gap is one of my favorite places to go to capture the feeling of stepping back in time. There is a quiet there that only adds to the experience of seeing the incredible petroglyphs. The site is well-maintained and easily accessible for both young children and their grandparents.
The petroglyphs are fenced but easily viewed and photographed without any special equipment. Be sure to walk the path through the gap as there are petroglyphs throughout the area. A quick 30 minute visit will give you the flavor of the area, but I find that I spend about 90 minutes when I visit. Arriving at sunrise or sunset it particularly amazing, but Parowan Gap is wonderful any time of day.
***Just as you drive thru Parowan Gap you will pass a pull out for a location that has easily accessible dinosaur tracks!!!

Raw nature surrounds Kanab, a Wild West town in the red heart of southwest Utah's rugged canyon country. Filled with friendly locals, classy dining, lodging and campgrounds, and interesting historical sites, the compact town, lying near the Arizona border, is the gateway to three iconic national parks, five national monuments, a national recreation area, and a couple state parks. These spectacular parklands, all a day trip from Kanab, are realms of solitude, freedom, rock, and sky. The Kanab area also offers a wealth of outdoor adventures, including hiking, photography, off-roading, canyoneering, rock climbing, mountain and road biking, sightseeing, and some of Utah's best scenic drives.
The Kanab area is a national scenic treasure with some of the planet's most spectacular vistas and rock formations. Buckskin Gulch, The Wave, and White Pocket, all east of Kanab, are three special areas that are simply out of this world.
Buckskin Gulch, one of the longest and deepest slot canyons in the United States, runs more than 13 miles to Paria Canyon. Hiking Buckskin is an extreme adventure, with wading, scrambling, and swimming through its dark passage. The best hike starts at Wire Pass Trailhead and heads down the canyon to the Paria River, then back to White House Trailhead for a 21-mile loop.
White Pocket is an impressive and remote area of swirling sandstones reached by a long 4x4 road in northern Arizona's Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. Photographers and hikers love exploring its slickrock sculptures reflected in pools of water.
The Wave in the Coyote Buttes area by the Arizona border is beautiful with its curved strata breaking like a sandstone wave. Visitation at the fragile area is limited to 20 people a day. Permits can be reserved ahead through an online lottery or by showing up at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Visitor Center in Kanab for next-day hikes. Nearby are more wonders like Melody Arch, Top Rock, Sand Cove, and the Second Wave.
