Hi All, Didn't see anything about this here yet so here goes. Melvin Heaps went missing in the Crystal Lake area of Summit County on July 31st 2017. https://www.ksl.com/?sid=45259650&nid=148&title=search-resumes-for-hiker-missing-near-crystal-lake Searches are ongoing, but as many of you...

We are heading to southern Utah this weekend, any suggestions for fall colors? Looks like Boulder Mountain will be past park then, so maybe something around Capitol Reef or the swell? Thanks!

The majestic camping hair of @neiloro from a trip we took last fall. Here he is seen demonstrating the proper deployment of headlamp as manly headband.

I think the key to keeping warm is experimentation. Everyone is different, and it took me a lot of years and a lot of cold nights to get any kind of system in place for keeping my cold ass warm at night. Here are some of the many things I do to keep warm (those of you who don't live your life...

There really are so many choices. I'd be interested to hear a review from you once you've used your new tent a few times. We've been using the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 for a few years now, and while we are mostly happy with it, I've had a roaming eye for a bit. My few nitpicky issues with...

Thanks! We would up being able to take next week off, so the trip has morphed into a longer and more ambitious thing than originally planned. Our current itinerary departs from Salt Lake after work tomorrow. We will go first to Mesa Verde for Saturday/Sunday, and then a few days in Great...

We've got an ambitious itinerary planned, I'll do a trip report when we get back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Searchers have located two of the three missing bodies from the Keyhole incident. http://www.ksl.com/?sid=36545005&nid=148&title=18-dead-in-so-utah-flooding-search-continues-for-others&s_cid=queue-10 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the food and drink recommends! I guess I was thinking of this as more a chance to go play outside than an urban vacation, but we will have to stop and eat sometimes. Depending on how things shake out, maybe we'll get to Rocky Mountain NP and maybe we won't, but Glacier Gorge looks...

Sorry for the delay, I went out of town for a bit there. I love the idea of Rattlesnake Canyon. Right now our itinerary is up in the air. We may not decide until the time comes to download maps and hit the road.

Thanks! The Mark Knopfler irony is that shortly after we booked our tickets, Red Butte did a late add of him to their fall line up, which is basically in our back yard. :) I'm actually happy we're going to Red Rocks to see him. It's a special venue, we've never been, and it gives us a great...

Thanks! Yeah, the I70 route home is looking good. Hope you guys had a blast at your concert--who did you go see?

Great shots! Seeing the badgers is amazing. Finally saw my first roadrunner this year, but no badgers yet. I think we were out in the Moab area that same weekend, getting drenched. I'm having flashbacks to almost getting stuck driving in the snot slick mud out behind Arches. Glad you made it...

We are driving from SLC to Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Morrison, CO at the end of Septmember for a concert. The concert is on Wednesday the 23rd, so that gives us some of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to go play before we drive home on Sunday. What should we go see? For how close we live to...

We've used them, and I'd say it depends. One thing to note is that most of the gels have little to no protein, so you'd want to factor in how you perform hiking on the type of energy the gels provide. I am a super picky jerk about food, and I can barely choke those down, plus they upset my...

That Big Agnes you mention doesn't look too terrible as far as open air cell pads go, thanks for the recommends.

Fantastic! Thanks, Nick, I'd love to give yours a go. I have a patch kit. I'll ping you directly.

Hey folks, Short version: Anyone have opinions on or experience with the Thermarest Women's ProLite Plus vs the regular Thermarest ProLite Plus? I'm leaning towards the women's one, but would love to hear from folks who have used either. Long version: After a long spell of car camping...

I'm jealous! I've only seen the Little Colorado once, many years ago, and want to get back someday. I can't help with your second vehicle request, but I just popped in to say please be sure to check that your rented jeep in fact has functional 4WD before you drive it away. I didn't even know...

@Bob Palin are you still in that area?
