Love that place! I was just up there for a four day weekend July 7-10 and hiked the Chapel Loop, ends up being 11.5 miles and traverses the tops of the cliffs in your photos. H-58 through the park used to be old 2 track logging roads, they paved it in 2010 which made it an amazing motorcycle...

Something that always concerns me when I bring the dogs out for vacation. Though we have very rare (Missauga) rattlers here in Michigan, I've never seen a snake avoidance class offered in the state. Thanks for the information.

I don't have any of the Sony prime lenses for my NEX6 but I'm reasonably happy with my Sigma 19mm 2.8 and 30mm 2.8 - I'm not happy at all with the Sony 55-210, it just seems soft no matter what I do. The 30mm is a nice focal length and while I sometimes miss the 1.8 aperture of my "Nifty Fifty"...

Thanks Vegan.Hiker :-) Mira is an Australian Shepherd, she just has a really narrow face for the breed. She's my old lady, 11 yrs. this summer, and this was the first trip she showed any age, which hit me a little. I had to boost her up into the Jeep right before I took that photo. We hiked...

I can see where that'd be a problem there. That campground would definitely not be for me if it were at mid-summer capacity but it was fine both times I've been there in early May. There were only 7 sites open and they were free - none of the open sites would be boat friendly. The ramp near...

I've been hanging around BCP for a few years, always amazed by the trip reports, but felt a touch inadequate in my travels around Utah to post a trip report. After a very frustrating shoulder surgery in February to repair a torn biceps tendon, I wasn't sure my annual spring trip west would...

Same here, leaving the 25th. I didn't even know Roberts was coming out with a follow up, I really enjoyed "In Search of the Old Ones" and "Sandstone Spires". I just finished rereading "Wet Desert" and read "Emerald Mile" for the first time (liked the story of the speed record and the...

Thanks a ton Nick! I camped at Stanton a few years ago and though I couldn't camp near the lake (no toilet), I still really enjoyed it. I'm glad to see that wag bags are acceptable so we can camp down by the lake this trip. The Blue Notch Rd. camping looks pretty cool but I'm not sure my...

Hi all, We'll be heading out to Utah for a couple weeks leaving April 25th. We're hoping to spend a couple days camping on Lake Powell toward the end of the trip, thinking the Bullfrog Area (Stanton Creek). We won't have a boat, but were hoping to do some fishing from shore. Is that a...

I was just browsing this map (Save the Colorado posted it on FB) - some pretty neat photos.

To those of you with XTerras, just a quick question. Do you have any issue with the heater putting out hot air? All the ones I test drove, even after 40 minutes of driving, only put out lukewarm air. Radiator issue? I really had my heart set on one, I love how they look. I did end up with...

No offense taken, I keep saying they've really mom-mobiled the new Jeeps. Bummer that they did that to the GCs! I've been testing the GCs, Liberty and XTerra. The XTerras all have rust and trashed plastic in the interior, the Liberty is too small, the Grand Cherokee has been the leader so...

Anyone have any experience with the "no driver input" automatic 4WD in the newer (well, newer than mine) Jeeps? I'm looking for an 08/09 Grand Cherokees to replace my 04 and was surprised when the first one I tested had no 4WD lever, just a traction control button. I like them overall, other...

This thread forced me to take the inevitable leap. I've used Aperture for quite a while and every time I tried new trial versions of Lightroom I just ended up frustrated. Aperture seems to be running slower and slower and locking up on my machine so I signed up for the trial of Lightroom...

One of my favorite trips for a long weekend! The Chapel Loop hike is beautiful, hiking on the cliffs and admiring the rock formations and plenty of cool stuff to see in the woods portions (Mosquito Falls and Chapel Falls too). Since they paved H-58 through the park, camping spots are hard to...

Thanks langutah! I was able to get a few shots of her with my phone before she bolted, she's a very busy girl!! I can't wait to get both dogs back to Utah in a few months!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A couple of Mira at Tannery Falls (Munising, MI) this past weekend - despite our best efforts, we were unable to wear her out! Ice Princess - Tannery Falls by heronwheels, on Flickr

Wow! Great catch!

I thought I remembered you mentioning a DNA test on her. Mine are 10 and 9 yrs. and though they aren't as spry as they were on our first Utah trip in 2008, they are still great outdoor buddies! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Nick, she's a photogenic little beast. Is your Sage part BC or ACD? She looks like an awesome hiking dog!! Here's another Mira gem, we were trying to show the scale of the pictographs at Black Dragon, she decided to photobomb from the rocks below me just as my boyfriend snapped a...
