arches

I was digging through some photos of recent trips to see if there was anything I could build a tale around. I pulled up a few pics from a Delicate Arch hike that my son and I did in December. I hadn’t meant to post anything about it. I mean c’mon.... It’s Delicate Arch. Who hasn’t been there...

It has been cold and snowy up here in Montana, so my brother and I decided to head south, looking for a place we hadn't been before. Moab caught our eye, and sort of on a whim we set up a few days to make the 11 hour road trip down. The temps weren't warm by any means, but better than what we...

Sorry fellow backcountryposters, I've been in hiatus of posting my outdoor adventures on here...or having them! But we'll kick it back in gear with this one from my blog: Hayduke Trail - Section 1. The first section of the Hayduke Trail is a 40-mile adventure through a great section of...

This is my first Trip Report here on Backcountry Post. I thought it was time to try to give a little back, since a majority places I visited stemmed from all the excellent TRs on this awesome site. For some years now I have had a yearly tradition to travel around the Southwest with my best...

Ever since enjoying several days in the Needles 12 years ago, I've wanted to see Canyonlands on the other side of the Colorado, and last fall I finally spent 6 days in The Maze. But before heading into the Maze we had an afternoon to kill and so we headed into Arches and caught sunset at...

I took a trip to Utah & Colorado with my family in September 2014. This was a trip my wife and i planned after our daughter was born in early 2013. The plan was to spend a week hiking, photographing places around moab and then a week photographing fall colors in Colorado. During our trip we...

Saturday, February 21, 2015 This weekend Diane and I went on another day trip to Arches National Park so we could hike the Devils Garden Primitive Loop. It has been a number of years since I last hiked the loop so I was looking forward to getting back, and this would be Diane's first time...

Christmas Day | Thursday, December 25, 2014 If you've been following my blog for more than a year, you might already know that I have an annual tradition where I spend Christmas Day in Arches National Park every year. This year would be the first time Diane would be joining me on this annual...

On the 28th I headed down to Arches for the day with my sister and her boyfriend, who have never been to Arches. We had left at 8 and got to the park at 10:30. Next time I hope to leave earlier. We stopped in the visitor center and had a look around. It is really nice inside and worth a quick...

October 2010 Audra and I took a three day trip to Moab over the weekend to do some hiking. She has been absent from my trips lately because she's working full time and doing her MBA at night. So we decided we would take a very laid back trip. We left the dogs at home, booked a hotel and set out...

Saturday, November 1, 2014 Winter Camp Ridge is an obscure place located north of Arches National Park near The Highlands. Most people bypass this area as they are heading elsewhere in the region, but I always seem to be drawn back to this location every so often. My first time here was when...

I stayed in town on Saturday to cheer my son on during back-to-back soccer games, but took some time off early the next week so I could spend a few days in southeastern Utah. I left home early Sunday and headed toward the Moab area. I wanted to explore the area around upper Courthouse Wash...

My wife and I enjoying some UPHILL canyoneering in Arches National Park :) The scramble and canyoneering is really fun and pretty, and the view from the top is hard to beat! Check out the full TR here :)

I am finally writing my Spring Fling trip report. First, this trip was postponed until October, it is now the Utah Oktoberfest trip. I flew into SLC on Friday Oct 11th. Immediately I grabbed my rental, a Ford SUV AWD. Clearance was fair but no Toyo truck. I headed out of town through SLCs...

The weather is warming and the time finally came to escape my winter hibernation. I grabbed my friend Richard and we set off for a weekend in Moab. We left late due to Friday work and rolled into Moab around 11PM to find it packed to the brim. Spring Break... I'll miss those days. After...

Saturday - Monday, February 15-17, 2014 The Original Trip Report on ADVENTR.CO For the long President's Day weekend, Diane and I decided to spend the weekend around Moab. We had booked a hotel room a few weeks earlier and had no idea how nice the temperature would be this weekend...

Christmas Day | Wednesday, December 25, 2013 The Original Trip Report on ADVENTR.CO It's been a tradition of mine to head down to Arches National Park around Christmas time each year so I can visit the park in the winter. This year I had no holiday plans, so I decided to visit on Christmas...

A last-minute trip came together for Saturday, with Wade, Alan, and me heading into Devil's Garden in Arches National Park to look for some scratches in the sandstone. Alan and I met Wade in Green River where it was snowing and the temperature was in the mid-teens. We hopped into Wade's truck...

Ok, so this trip report isn't particularly adventurous or out of the way, but I did get some cool photos. Friday the 5th my brother Justin and I drove down to the Goblin Valley area. We camped on this BLM spot I always go to, by some cool Hoodoos. I woke up at sunrise to see if anything good...

I've been cherry picking my TR's for a while now and I'm just started to go back and get caught up. This one was from a quick spur of the moment trip with some friends who came into town looking to shoot a few photos in during a rushed trip to Moab. We started the trip by going directly to...
