We spent the night at DEl's parents' cabin on Kolob a week ago, and it was wonderful.
Instead of 100+ degree heat, the temperature stayed in the low to mid seventies during the day.
Perhaps it wasn't quite as relaxing as usual, as we had three families with a combined total of fifteen kids (ten under ten years) all sleeping under one roof.
But it was fun :)
This photo was taken during the drive there; we stopped several times so JiHye could take pictures of the beautiful scenery which many of us locals take for granted:
A trip to the cabin wouldn't be complete without a hike to "the knoll":
This was the only pic I got of Jefferson, as he was "gone fishin" most of the day:
On top of the knoll:The views up there are incredible!
During our trip, I experimented a little with scenic photography. These first two pictures are of West Zion:
This is the backside of Kolob Canyons. The curve in the cliffs on the left is a natural rock arch, which can only be seen from this view a few hours during midday, when the sun shines through it (the other "arch" is just an indentation on the cliff):
This was taken on top of "the knoll"; the mountain in the background is Pine Valley:
It was raining as we drove home:
We're looking forward to our next mountain escape :)

So jealous! I want to get away from the 100 plus heat!
Great job on the scenic photographs. They look great.
Now that brings back some serious "Accla" memories!
We just got back from Cedar mountain, and it is nice to get a way from the heat isn't it! Looks like you guys had a great time! The pics are awesome!
Sally stole my line! It is beautiful up there. Hope it always stays in DEl's family.
