Wheeping Rock and Echo Canyon

Hike #5of100 Wheeping Rock and Echo Canyon

Wheeping Rock Trail

You have to love three day weekends that turn into four day weekends. I headed back down to southern Utah Martin Luther King holiday weekend, even though I had been there two weeks ago. My goal was to hike trails which I never had before. Because I drove down, I only had an afternoon to hike on Friday, Jan 16. I went to Wheeping Rock and Echo Canyon. I am not counting these as to separate hikes; however, they are two different trails. Wheeping Rock is short but STEEP! Wheeping Rock got my blood pumping very quickly; it is straight up the mountain with 10-15 switch backs. My calves were burning. After coming back down my we headed back up to Echo Canyon, the trail in the opposite direction. It was not as drastically up the mountain but a long series of switch backs.
