Pioneer Park

It was such a nice day outside, we couldn't stay indoors! After church, we went to explore Pioneer Park.
On of my good friends from high school, Madalyn, and her family joined up with us for a little while in our exploring. I didn't realize how huge this place was! We probably could have spent a lot more time exploring had we not needed a break to get water. Check out this beautiful red rock!
There was a slot canyon that we could go through, but decided against after we saw how small it was! Pretty sure I wouldn't have fit.
After getting some water, we drove around for a bit and saw this archway and wondered what it was. Discovered that it is the St. George Temple Quarry trail. This is where they got the rock for the foundation and basement for the temple. We didn't do the whole trail, but thought it was a pretty neat find.
For much of it, we could see the Green Valley area where we live. Such a beautiful place!
I think our weekends will be full of finding all these fun places for a while. Feel somewhat of a tourist right now instead of a resident!
