    Kanarraville Falls Hike

    This past week our Young Mens group hiked Kanarraville Falls.  I’ve been hearing about this hike ever since we moved to Cedar and I’ve wanted to do it but this was my first time.  What a delightful hike.  I love red rock slot canyons.  This was like a mini version of the Narrows in Zion.  Here are some photos from our trip:

    This evening I’ll post a video that includes a fun little rock water slide we went down…
