Shinob Kibe GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Shinob Kibe is a cute hike to a historic butte overlooking the greater St. George area. The trailhead was unmarked and reaching it is fine for any vehicle. Once I located the start of the trail amongst the many ATV tracks at the peak's northern base, I had no issue following it. The trail is in really good shape, clearly a popular local hike. A few switchbacks led to a somewhat eroded and steep section of trail as I neared the rim of Shinobe Kibe, and then a nice casual walk along the top of the butte led to the high point. The sunset views of St. George below were nice.
