Dude, killer trip!

Sweet!

I figure if there is snow, I'll just look for somewhere that is snow free. It is a bit early for that area and it looks like that is about the only place in the lower 48 that got it's average so I expect some will be around. Hopefully worst case, I can find something. I could just buy this tear...

Oh man all the pics have gotten me stoked. I was looking at the Dubois area and Union Pass Road might be the ticket. Hopefully there won't be many people around in late May. Google Earth shows what looks like a ton of good dispersed car camping spots so hopefully I should be alright, plus I'll...

Hey there, I am taking the kiddos out to Grandma's in the Ogden area next month for the summer. Lucky me I know. I am also planning on buying one of these to make my trips just a little bit more chill when I am near my Xterra. If all goes well, I'll pick up the teardrop in the next couple...

Welcome!

Nice, I have been waiting for something like this. It adds a nice piece of mind knowing I won't have a $100,000 SAR bill because I rolled an ankle or hurt my back.

I read that article today as well. That is basically the same thing that happened to me. Sucks but it is what it is I guess. Maybe I should go ahead and stick the Grateful Dead Skull in Colorado Rockies colors on the car, load up a big bag of some other kind of legal herb and just have fun...

I was expecting that response but in my opinion, quality outdoors people are the only way we are ever going to prevent the oil companies and local governments from turning what is left of our fine country into a big oil field. Usages of proposed national park areas are monitored and how many...

Homesteading had been an interest for my wife and I for a while. As a kid, I spent the summers working at a dairy farm and hauled hay as well. The independent mindset and powerful personality of the farmers always impressed me. Fast forward to today and I have found a renewed interest in...

Agreed, for me it is just the hassle of being hassled by the man. I worry that my love of the Utah and the desert will end up getting me into a tough spot that could affect my professional and family life. Pot aside, it is the fact that I can be stopped and searched for no reason. Many of the...

LOL, BYU stickers are a great idea. I'll just take all the brewery stickers off my Thule and replace them with BYU/CTR stickers, best camo you could ask for.

I second Causey, fun cliff jumping off of skull crack and some excellent camping. Before I left Utah we would canoe back into some great camping spots every summer. Also lots of good hiking around there.

That is a ton of water weight, I personally rarely have anything more then a Nalgene or two on me. I have done 14 day trips with a 65 comfortably, All of my clothes, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad fit in the sleeping bag compartment. Food goes in next, usually just some oatmeal, fruit rollups...

I always hate the idea that they flooded Glen Canyon, usually right up until my first 5 minutes on a houseboat. The Monkey Wrench Gang is a great story told from the perspective of some old school backcountry folks and their frustration with the flooding of Glen Canyon. Ed Abbey is the author...

Wow, gnwatts that is a terrifying story, one that further makes me want to start exploring Southern Colorado, Northern NM, and AZ for my desert fix. I haven't spent any time in any of those areas. Honestly, I smoke from time to time, as I have for over 20 years. From high school, through...

Just curious if any other Colorado folks have been profiled and pulled over based on their license plate while in Utah? Last year I got pulled over near Goblin Valley and had my car searched. I spent 2 hours on the side of the road and then was told, hey we can smell marijuana but we can't find...

I don't go naked much. Usually just when I wash up in the river. I would consider myself a bit of a hippy, almost always in tie dye if I am not at work, spent a few years following Widespread Panic, never miss a jam band show, and yes I even sold grilled cheese when I was busted in Lake Tahoe...

Also, If you are thinking on leaving from Wire Pass, there is some great dispersed camping down the road that the trailhead is on. Also closer to Lee's Ferry is a California Condor Reserve. They are worth a stop

Buckskin is 13 miles as I recall from Wire Pass to the confluence. that would give you a sandy and rocky 26 out and back. Long for a day hike but do-able. The White House campground is pretty sweet for a standard trailhead campground. Whitehouse rock itself is pretty and there is a panel across...
