It's time once again for Peach Days in Hurricane Utah. This event and this year promises to be a fabulous celebration. The I attended the first Peach Days when I moved to St George Utah 14 years ago, and I don't think I've missed one since. It's a fun event to take the family to and has become a tradition for mine. There's always plenty of food booths showcasing many different types of cuisine. In years past, some of the local scout or youth groups have also had food booths to raise money for their organizations. There's usually at least one booth selling Navajo Tacos, a local favorite! Don't want a whole Navajo Taco? How about a piece of Navajo Fry Bread with butter and honey? One of my neighbors has had a booth at Peach Days for the last couple of years, it's Cindy's Phillipine Cuisine. I can't get enough of her egg rolls... If you happen to stop by her booth, be sure to tell her I sent you. It wouldn't be Peach Days without booths selling different peach dishes. You can find dutch oven peach cobbler, peach smoothies, peach preserves and peach ice cream just to name a few. Of course, there's a Peach Cook-Off! You can also purchase cases of locally grown fresh peaches at Peach Days. Be sure not to miss the annual Peach Days parade, fiddling contest, rodeo, 12K run and Pioneer Corner. There's always local entertainment throughout the event too. Here's the schedule of events for this year's Peach Days 2011 in Hurricane Utah:
Silent Saturday~Sedona Arizona
I had never really been to Sedona Arizona before....I've always been in too big a hurry to get somewhere else! Well, I decided to stop and spend a few hours in Sedona last weekend. Now I can't wait to go back when I have more time to spend exploring the quaint shops, I want to visit a vortex or two and maybe take in Slide Rock State Park. Water Canyon near Zion National Park~Back-Country Adventures in Southern Utah
My daughter is an avid back-country enthusiast and takes advantage of all the great state and national parks that are located close to our home in St George Utah. A couple of weeks ago she and her "posse" did the Water Canyon hike. Water Canyon is located on BLM land just south of Zion National Park. Access to the trail is located behind the remote town of Hildale Utah. Water Canyon is a narrow canyon that offers a little bit of everything for the outdoor enthusiast...big drops, narrow slots to navigate through, swimming pools to cool off in and even a pothole! Estimated hiking time is approximately 6 hours, it's about 3.3 miles estimated hiking distance. |
