Took a extended weekend trip to St. George, Southern Utah, with Kristian, Amanda, Pru, VJ, Daryl, Michelle, and Steve this past weekend.  We took a similar trip last year, but this time we rented a house just North of Moe’s Valley in Washington.  It’s a great way to start the climbing season and something I hope will become a tradition. 

On the way back home Sunday late morning, Amanda had the idea to stop by the Valley of Fire state park in Nevada.  We went on a few short hikes to some scenic lookouts – the rock formations and colors were cool and I like photographing them against a deep blue sky; sandstone has some very unique features. Went really deep in the contrast on these.
