Preliminary Plans is to run Rattlesnake Gulch and Toquerville Falls on Sunday, May 2nd. We'll run the trail in a counterclockwise rotation, stopping at Toquerville Falls for lunch and driving out on Toquerville Falls trail in the reverse direction . After lunch its an easy 5 miles back to the main road so you have the rest of the day to explore or relax.

We've stayed at WillowWind rv park 4 times and is nice with trees and green lawns for dogs, etc. with pull thru.
About 20 minutes from park and across from Lin's Market on S 1150 W street.
 
X2. We are in Mesquite NV tonight and headed home Sunday. Enjoy the run & post some pics!
 
I'm here, and will make the falls run tomorrow.
I ran part of John's Trail today.

That looks great. Do you know if dispersed camping is allowed on that trail?

Yes there is! There are a number of spots right along the river with plenty of shade.

It took us 1.5 hours from the La Verkin Shooting Range (starting point) to the falls. Over 30 water crossings and a few long sections in the river bed. It was a great day!!!

That looks pretty cool, Dino. Love the waterfall shot. Glad to see the wife feeling better.

Still making my way home from Moab and came out to toquerville falls yesterday. It’s a beautiful spot!

Came across a high centered JK on Rattlesnake Gulch and they were trying to use a hi-lift to lift the front pumpkin over a boulder 🤦‍♂️
I helped them rock stack a wheel and got them out in 10 minutes.

We played in the waterfall for a few hours and cooked dinner at the falls but decided not to camp because of the bugs and cows 😂

Absolutely fantastic! We went down to Sand Hollow last year but stayed around the dunes, we're definitely doing these trails next time around.

BTW did any locals correct any of you on the proper way to pronounce "Hurricane"? Everyone in Utah calls it "Her-ah-kun". They do that with a lot of towns, up here in N. Utah we have a town called Hooper, yet everyone says "Hup-per" and they waste no time correcting you when you pronounce it in accordance with the rules of the English language.

We do that a lot in TN as well. I’m not too far from a town called Shelbyville. A tribute to Carroll? No. It’s pronounced Shub-vul...
