    Moab and Grand Junction

    It was getting late in the season for camping with a 2-year-old so I decided to piggy-back on my husband's work trip hotel and take the kids to Grand Junction. We left on a Saturday the last weekend of October, after the little league football game, and headed to Moab. I got their with less...

    Canyoneering and ratings

    For years and years I've wanted to get into more canyoneering, and, for the most part, circumstances haven't allowed much, but also, I'm often told that the routes / hikes I'm interested in are too technical, or should be done with an experienced guide first. I'm not one to just laugh at safety...

    Adventures abroad

    Red Breaks Big West Fork

    Yeah, I figured we were pretty close to it, I had us heading that far east so we could find a safe way to head south toward the sandy track, not knowing which drainages would end up with obstacles going down and such. There was probably a faster way back, but I didn't know better, and though I...

    Several months ago I saw on the internet a picture of something labeled the "cosmic ashtray," also called the Escavolcano.

    Lower Muley Twist in Capitol Reef

    this is something I've wanted to do for a long time, combined with the Halls Creek Narrows, there's a 20-something mile loop described in David Day's hiking book I've been eyeing to do sometime in summer probably because of cold water.

    awesome, thanks, your map will be much appreciated. I was looking at the summitpost information and planning on marking points with my GPS. Is the route difficult to follow / find? We have 4-5 people going so far and welcome others if interested. Those of us going have a good amount of...

    Bullet Canyon

    Not set on backpacking, trying to get as much as I can into 1 full day, I can hike quite a bit, but will backpack in if the distance will most likely require finishing up on Monday morning before heading home.
