This morning Barbara, Toby and I visited nearby Kolob Canyon. Kolob Canyon is part of Zion National Park (NP). This is a beautiful but small park that most people who visit it can see the entire area in about an hour. It’s scenic drive is only five miles long. But if you really want to see this area you need to get out of your vehicle and hike the numerous trails. I have done this several times in Zion NP. However, at my age I still love to go hiking, but it is difficult to find anyone who I can go hiking with. So I take the scenic drives with Barbara and Toby, hike as much as I can while they wait in the truck. But it’s not fair to them waiting while I go hiking.
Kolob Canyon, like the RV park where we’re staying, sits right on the Hurricane fault that separates the Colorado Plateau and the Basin and Range geomorphic provenances. This faulting while the Colorado Plateau rose also folded the rocks along the fault in the Basin and Range geomorphic provenance. You will see this in some of the photos below.
