Virgin River Gorge hike (Apr 2007)

I hiked 5 miles from the freeway up into the Virgin River Gorge. There was not much of a trail, and I had to cross the river many times. It was very quiet (once I got away from the highway), solitaire and scenic, resembling a mini-Grand Canyon. Normally, this hike would be impossible this time of year due to spring runoff. This year is terribly dry.




Typical view.
