My family and I went and hiked Moonshine Wash this last weekend. We read mixed results about hiking it with children, but I would definitely rate it kid friendly. As we hiked down the canyon, I was a little nervous about our kids scrambling back out, but they climbed out on their own and loved...
We hiked Lower Maidenwater last weekend. We loved the canyon but I understand why it isn't more popular. You have to hike about a mile in before it turns awesome and then the last 3 miles are also just alright. But the main section of the canyon was really cool!

So let me save you the trouble of calling me names, because...
I have seen gas flares before (there is one always burning in North Salt Lake) but after watching this video, I don't understand why those gases are burned off instead of being repurposed.

I received an alert this morning that one of my images, was used as one of the "Featured images for home page". I was super excited. I seldom post trip reports, because I feel like my pictures are never as good as everyone else's who posts. So it was fun for me to have one of my pictures...
