Jim and I took a weekend trip down south to Zion's and St. George.  We ended up on the backside of Zions at a trail called Wildcat Canyon Trail.  It is a also a trail leading to the Subway trail which you need a permit for and has slot canyons you need to repel down.  So that was cool to know where that was.  We walked about 5 miles, a three hour hike.  It was flat and full of ponderosa pines.  It seemed like a lot of the trunks were burned but the trees survived.  If there was a fire that burned up trees and killed them they were cleared out of there.  The path was mostly soft sand and grassy fields with the scattered ponderosa.  Then we came to Wildcat canyon and
 great views of many slickrock domes.  We climbed down into the canyon and decided to climb up one of the domes, there was a saddle between two and we decided on that and then continued up to a ridge of sorts.  I wish I had walked across it and up to a slightly higher peak but where we made it to was rigorous enough and gave us a fantastice view to the west.

There's a remedy
for all your ills
Out in the yellow and green hills

The tall and stately Ponderosa
The golden sun-kissed grasses
Waving gently in the breezes

Under our feet
Soft sand, pine cones and rocks
Making their way down into our socks

Tap tap tapping woodpecker
Clouds whipped into horsetails now
You look at the cliff-what! Acow!

We scaled steep loose rock,
Up to the saddle
Granted a better view than Seattle

The Song of the Wild
The Call of the Wild
The Wildness of Zion enlivend till tired.
