It was just a little hike, about 2.5 miles, but it was great that Paul's foot is now healing enough to start doing some short ones. We went up to Cedar Breaks because it is so much cooler up there than down in St. George. We hiked the beautiful Alpine Pond Trail. It is too late in the year for very many flowers to be left, but the cool green of the plants and trees was beautiful and refreshing. We also stopped in at the Visitor's Center and then drove over by Duck Creek. We picked up a paper about things to do in that area and found that there was a cave nearby that we had never heard of. It wasn't too far in on a good dirt road for our car, so we went and checked out Bowers Cave. We weren't prepared with headlamps, so we couldn't go in very much with just our phone lights, but it was fun to find this new place. We will have to revisit when we are more prepared. Then we drove down through Parowan and stopped in to use our gift card for a fantastic late lunch at Smokin' Joe's BBQ! Delicious! It ended up being a great get away from the heat day for us!
