One of the things Dave and Jan enjoy most about their place in Cedar City is its proximity to so many recreational options. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas the mild weather permitted a round-trip hike from their house up Cedar Canyon and Red Hollow and back home through Thor’s Hideout and Steven’s Canyon.

Red Hollow is a steep climb to a “saddle” which leads into the Thor’s Hideout trail system.

Looking back down the Red Hollow trail gives a clearer perspective of the elevation gain involved.

There are three trail options heading down from the “saddle” through Thor’s Hideout – so named because the terrain offers many places where Thor (the Southern Utah University mascot) could hide himself.

At the end of the Thor’s Hideout trail Cedar City reappears through the rocks in the valley below.

Dave and Jan enjoy the fact that they can take a three or four mile hike through beautiful scenery from their front door without bothering to start up a car. The Lord’s creative genius is all around them!
