I did the Monument Canyon Backcountry Trail on Thanksgiving Day and WOW, what a great hike this was! The views of the rock formations, including the Independence Monument, are spectacular. When I neared the turnaround point, it was an awesome hike up and out of the canyon. On the way back, I decided to hike the short Coke Ovens Trail. Near the end, I opted to take the Wedding Canyon Trail so I had some new scenery to take in,
