Whiterocks

Maybe there is an issue if I already can't remember the name of this hike. I know it is out in Snow Canyon State Park. After a quick google search, oh yeah, Whiterocks. Not a very inspiring name for a rather uninspiring hike. Momo and Popo were up visiting though, so since they had not been to Snow Canyon State Park we decided to go. We parked outside of the State Park and hiked in. This did not exclude us from paying the entrance fee, but it was a bit quieter where we were. This hike started out flat and in the sand. It was next to some white rocks but we spent very little time actually on white rocks.
Zyla was hiking well and with four adults to keep her moving, we were making adequate progress. There seemed to be a multitude of trail options so we just took one that led us out to the rim to look down. It was a nice view. We decided at this viewpoint that we should split up to have an easier time getting back to our car. Dad and I went back the way we came while Jacqueline, Zyla, Momo, and Conrad went to the nearer trailhead. This worked out well as we made it back in time to pick them up about the time they got to the closer trailhead. Really, I want to keep this as short as possible because Snow Canyon does not inspire a sense of awe in me. This was a good choice of trailheads because it was quiet where we were, whereas when we took the scenic drive back through the park, we realized there were a multitude of large groups creating havoc in other portions of the park.
