Kanarraville Falls/ Cascadas en Kanarraville (Kanarvil)

We took a hike this past Saturday at Kanarraville Falls. We both agree that this is a must do if you go to/live in St George area. It was so pretty. It has all the green with the slot canyons, and you spend most of the time walking in water. There are quite a few pictures, but I couldn't help myself.

Fuimos a estas cascadas que quedan al norte de St. George y hemos decidido que es uno de los mejores lugares a visitar del area. Es un cayon con un peque~no arroyo y cascadas. Naturalmente Amy tomo muchas fotos.

We started out in the town because we didn't want to pay for parking. Very cute small town with livestock.



First waterfall. Little did we know there would be many more.





Cool tree roots. 


Jamir didn't want to get in the water at first because it was cold. He liked it later though!





First slot canyon. I love these! They are so fun to walk through.







First big waterfall






Second waterfall. Above it had gotten washed out so we had to climb over rocks to get up.

Beautifulness


To the left are two waterfalls you can slide down. Unfortunately, the sun washed it out so its hard to see.

And third big waterfall


A flash flood had destroyed the wood to climb up so we had to pull ourselves up



On the way down. The rope broke a min after this and I got some nice rope burn. It was a soft landing thankfully.

The effects of the flash flood. Rips the trees' tops off


We highly recommend this hike. It was so fun to be in the water. My ankles hurt later though from using only water shoes and hitting rocks.

We hit Kolob Canyon on the way back. It was just a scenic drive with a few hikes, but it was pretty as well. It was less touristy because it is on the north side of Zion.

Beautiful red rock
