    moonshine wash conditions

    I was there in April, I don't remember anything like you describe. Sorry. You made the right decision though, I always ask myself, can I get back up this if I need to? I thought the trickest part was some of the climbs coming back up West Fork of Moonshine Wash. The dry fall wasn't bad, but...

    Wendover to St. George (on dirt...)

    Looks like a great trip. Some really cool stuff. Thanks for sharing. Overall how were the roads? From your pictures they don't look too bad, (but not too many pictures of the roads.) Could any stock 4wd handle it?

    Hand held GPS

    UI = User Interface. They all suck. I'm with Nick. This seems to be a technology stuck in the past. I had a Magellan, and didn't like it before getting the Garmin eTrex that I have now. Its probably 5 years old, but it works, and I don't get lost, but it and all the ones I look at every...

    Zion Narrows hammock camping

    Ok, Hopefully Nick will have you a better shot. I've only ever stayed in 12, which would be awesome for a hammock.

    Keg Spring Canyon SAR

    If he wasn't dehydrated before the hike down to the river, he certainly would after. Standing in colonnade arch looking to the river is a long ways. Not even sure how you would get down.

    BLM Campgrounds

    Does anyone know of a list of BLM campgrounds for the state? Moab has good information on the BLM site, but I can't seem to find anything like that for the other offices.

    What Animal Worries You Most in the Utah Backcountry?

    Although not much worries me, I put down Moose. Been a little to close to some in the Uintas that have scared me.

    Zion West Rim

    I did this back in April 2007 in another light snow year. Awesome hike. Great views from the get go. Really liked the little ledge you hike along, we called it the side walk. Your wildflower pics are beautiful. Sad note on my trip, as we were coming down off of scout lookout a ranger stopped...

    Lower Muley Twist vs. Upper Muley Twist

    Can't comment on LMT, but I have also done UMT as a day hike. It was awesome.

    Grand Gulch

    A couple years ago I did Bullet to Kane in 3 days. I thought that was plenty of time.

    2013 REI Dividends

    I have the credit card. :) Sure there are better cards, but I like the earmarked money for gear. Helps me buy cool stuff and not just reshuffle the rewards into the mundane daily life of bills and diapers. $384.

    Chesler Park, Canyonlands

    Depending on the time of year you do this will greatly affect your water in Elephant Canyon. I have been in this area twice. Once spring, and once fall. In the spring, water was very abundant. It was all over, not an issue at all. Fall, not so much. I carried water into Chesler Park and had a...

    Noobs: Introduce Yourself!

    Hey, introduced to this site by uintahiker. Nice alternative to the other utah-centric board. I know enough about most outdoor activities to make me dangerous (mostly to myself). I enjoy hiking, backpacking, fairly new into climbing and canyoneering and with the kids, car camping/exploring.
