Dan wanted to spend a day geocaching near St. George and suggested a one-way hike along the crest of the Virgin Anticline. On paper this looked easy enough—about 35 caches over 4 miles point to point. We dropped a vehicle at the end point and Janet dropped us off at the beginning.
Crest of the Virgin Anticline
After a bit of walking it became apparent that I might have underestimated the scale this ridge. There wasn’t a trail (not even a use-trail) and some of the bolder fields were tricky to get through or around.
Navigating through the rocks
The expected 4 mile hike turned into 5+ miles, and it seemed like a lot farther. The ups, downs, and dealing with the big rocks left me very tired. On the upside, we logged more than 30 caches and experienced a very unique area.
