I was there in early June this year (last year even, 2014!). It was already pretty hot, i'd say about 100F in the mid afternoon sun, but the water was beautiful. Although I made it to Beaver Falls, my biggest regret is not going all the way to the Colorado :( I'll write up the trip report if...

Great pics! I really love Capitol Reef, even if i've not had the chance to explore as much of the Southern end as i'd like. All the more reason to go back!

I'm no pro photographer but here's a few of my favorite shots I took on my annual Southwest trip over from the UK this year; This one is not a technically fantastic shot, amazing composition or hard to reach location. This was my first "encounter" with a bear in the wild which was a really cool...

I've not seen this posted anywhere but I learnt a few days ago that Martin Litton, "defender of the Grand Canyon", died last weekend. I was aware of the name and roughly what he stood for but have read many more articles on him in the past few days. What a fantastic activist who dedicated his...

Great pics! I did exactly the same day hike in June, to the same point before turning around. I have several pics almost identical to some of yours, I had totally dry conditions though. Might write up a short trip report...

A nice Utah MTB/base jumping combo; Moderator note: embedded video removed. Link to YouTube is below. The video is technically NSFW because they slipped in like 2 seconds of bare female chest. Link to video on YouTube. (NSFW)

Fantastic as always. The last pic looks like something rude lol :eek:

Yes, it's one of the more popular spots but I do love Calf Creek. Probably the coldest water i've ever swum in too! Great shots...

"Canyonlands? Well, it's not bad I guess. But what this place really needs is a scribble of a woman smoking a joint all over this slickrock. Yosemite? A dude vomiting up a snake should make Vernal Fall easier on the eye...." Unbelievable. This story really makes me mad, and I just can't fathom...

People are unbelievable. I hope they throw the book at her. Shameful vandalism.

Nice pics! I attempted to hike LaVerkin Creek/Bear Trap Falls/Kolob Arch in September last year but monsoon rain made it a washout. I reluctantly turned back soon after reaching LaVerkin Creek - I was soaked through and the prospect of a wet night out wasn't too appealing. I'm glad I did turn...

I've not done any serious backpacking there, just day hiking, but it struck me as quite a nice park. It maybe doesn't have the "wow" factor of the other nearby signature parks, but it's cool, peaceful and quiet - it's one of the least visited units in the NPS system. The night skies are awesome...

Emerald Pools, Zion: :eek:

I'm calling it right now - Apple Watch (and most/all other smart watches) are gonna flop within a couple years. Seems like a huge, unnecessary gimmick to me. I just don't see what incredible benefits it offers over a smartphone to make it a huge commercial success. I mean is it really such a...

How is anyone supposed to buy and set off illegal fireworks at the Moapa truck stop in that weather?! ;) EDIT: Some crazy footage from I-15 in the Virgin River Gorge here, colorful language too...

Urgh, your life sounds just about perfect Julie. Hugely jealous. ;) Welcome!

Thanks Nick for separating this out into it's own thread. I'm in the UK so won't be able to watch in real-time but will catch it online at some point tomorrow. I'm sure it's bound to have the usual amount of false info, comedy and "artistic license" but I do still enjoy watching these shows, in...

Not sure if this is the right thread but it may be of some interest to people... Tonight's episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls takes place in S. Utah. Can any of you detectives figure out the locations? Not sure how "authentic" it is given all of his controversies in recent years but it...
