Thanks. That's appreciated feedback.

This was a 4 day backpacking trip I did with @Bob , @Artemus , and Mike at the beginning of May, 2015. We started at the Hell's Backbone Road, and exited at the Escalante River bridge along HWY 12. Originally, we planned to go all the way down lower Death Hollow to the Escalante River...

The thing that makes me cringe in all these movies is when they walk in the cold, icy rivers in their only set of boots and clothes. At one point in this movie, Bridger was in waste deep water setting a trap, with snow on the ground. A while later he comes out, and says something about getting...

Here is a trip video:

Ask Hugh. Its the first Saturday of the first week of March Madness. So its usually close to St Patty's Day.

One of @Bob 's 111 night's of 2015.

And nice YouTube channel name too.

Awesome! I think I get why that's one of your favorite ranges. I can almost feel that feeling just from looking at all the pictures, without ever even being there. So those mountains are in the 7,000 ft range? Do they block the view of Denali? That's a huge park.

Where is 3L2, Lava Creek? Wish I could go. I didn't really think out this making video stuff. It takes too much time. I'm definitely ready to go back out there.

There is a small saddle with a well cairned route going from Shot canyon into Water Canyon. You will see the cairns climbing out of Shot Canyon, not long after it narrows, which will take you to that saddle. Its right before a big left turn in the canyon. If you miss it, in about 20 minutes...

Mount Nebo?

I have officially renamed my selfi-stick 'Swimswithtrout". :smilecoffee:

Its pretty easy to not get lost if you have a map and can read it. I think you would love this place. When you're ready to venture south of Yellowstone, lets plan a trip out there. Its like one awesome play park. And speaking of Yellowstone, are you still heading over there in 2 weeks?

Haha, it is an advantage. I'll disqualify myself. But I have no idea where its at. Beautiful picture.

2 questions: Is it in California? And is this a picture from a trip you were part of?

Is it in Idaho?

There really wasn't much of a plan. My friend Keith told me about 5 weeks beforehand that he had 2 weeks off in April and wanted to do a big trip. After deciding on the Maze, I actually kept trying to talk him into going down the Escalante River instead. But he wanted to see the Maze. I've...

They are Vasque water shoes. I don't know the exact kind though. They are pretty light, and I bring them along as a second pair of shoes to hike in. I also use them a lot in the Escalante River area, to deal with all the wading. On smaller trips, I use them alone as my hiking shoes. On...

the new one or old one?

This is my trip video from a 10 day backpack I did into the Maze in April 2015. The video is probably too long for most people, but the footage turned out really good. You can read the trip reports I wrote for it here...
