Red Cliffs Hike

I did this hike a few years ago with the young women and had been wanting to take my family back ever since. We finally did on Saturday June 8, 2013.

The "Elephant Tree"

Gentry exploring a cave.

At one point there's a place you climb up these cute steps and then use a rope to swing yourself around the rock.

There are so many fun slides along the way. They are super slippery trying to get up them but super fun coming back down, Gentry loved them.

Stopping in a canyon with shade for lunch. 

We hiked a little bit further and finally found some water. There wasn't as much as we thought but the girls still managed to have fun and find a bunch of tadpoles. 

Time to cool off. The girls loved these slides into the water. Calli tried it first to see how deep it was. She went all the way under and still couldn't find the bottom.  Sadie agreed to go as long as Calli hung out at the bottom to catch her.  She loved it. 

Gentry's turn. Again, Calli is at the bottom ready to catch her.

I am always so impressed with my girls and their guts. They love to try new things and will usually try some thing at least once. They seriously are some of the coolest people I know...they rock!

Cooling off before hiking back out. 

It was such a hot day that we thought the girls would be miserable but they are such troopers. They loved the canyons, the slides, the caves, the water and the whole hike. I think we'll come back and do this one again.
