Hello everybody! It's been a minute (figuratively; more like a year or more!) since I've posted, but I've been lurking faithfully. My first trip report was about an overnighter in the Little Bookcliffs Wilderness Study Area near Grand Junction, CO. Today, I'll share a recent overnighter through...
It's been unutterably gorgeous around here lately, and I've been slowly amassing gear and hiking time; this weekend, I decided, it was finally time for me to try my first "real" backpacking trip. I'm still pretty new to this activity and haven't been the most active person in the past, so in...
Several of my friends and I have started a weekly adventure we lovingly call the "Tandoori Hike Club", where we journey to a local hiking trail, have an adventure, and follow it with lunch or dinner at a local Nepalese restaurant that is very delicious. So far we've done Echo Canyon in the...
I tried to head to Bisti just after Thanksgiving 2013 with a friend, and got stuck in freezing fog for two days... we didn't see anything, and now I'm bummed that I missed all this cool stuff! Time to plan a return trip. Great pictures.

Have you been out to the Little Book Cliffs Wild Horse Area/Wilderness Study Area much? There's a lot of trails of varying difficulty, and the chances of seeing a horse or two are really good right now. I'm planning an overnight in the near future, and it's really close to Junction...
Hello! My name's Andy, and I'm a lurker, for the most part. I moved to Colorado in 2012 from the Midwest, and have been learning the ropes and local trails since then. My day job is as a librarian, and I live and work in Grand Junction, CO. I also play in the local symphony, but when I get a...
