Warm Creek Bay
The weekend of 1 Mar 08, I took off for Lake Powell to see if I could find a way to hit the water further up river on the north side of the lake. I wanted to find a place to launch our kayaks, because I want…

Swett Canyon
The weekend of 15 Feb 08, Tracy and I headed south. I was fed up with snow and I wanted to see some bare ground. We first tried to get to the Hans Flat area of Canyonlands National Park to see if we could get to the…
Antelope Island
On 10 Feb 08, it had stopped snowing for about 10 minutes, so we headed to Antelope Island to do some hiking. My golden rule in the winter: if the weather is nice down low, stay down low and enjoy it. So we went to Antelope and…
Limber Flag Yurt
The weekend of 1 Feb 08, Tracy and I braved the weather in the mountains of eastern Utah and headed up to the Limber Flag Yurt in the Uinta Mountains of the Ashley National Forest. We had tried a few weeks earlier to do the same trip,…
Pebble Creek
The weekend of 12 Jan 08, we showshoed to a Forest Service cabin outside of Lava Hot Springs, ID, in the Pebble Creek area. We reserved the cabin online, and the Forest Service people were really nice and helpful. We showshoed about 6 miles up to the…

Dirty Devil
The weekend of 28 Dec 07, we headed down to southern Utah to get away from the snow. The plan for Saturday was to hike Straight Wash into the San Rafael Reef. The typical trailhead is off Hwy 24 but I thought I’d try the opposite end…
Pony Express
The weekend of 1 Dec 07, Tracy and I tried to find a trail way out in western Utah, but we ended up getting sidetracked on the Pony Express Trail. We had a good time just wondering around the area and imagining the logistics of the Pony…

Tracy and I went home for Thanksgiving 2007…we decided to try our luck at Thanksgiving since Christmas always seems so wild. Thanksgiving was wild, too, so we’ll probably stick to Christmas. But the weather and season were outstanding. I REALLY love fall back home, and I need…
Capitol Reef
The weekend of 2 Nov 07, Tracy and I spent our time down in Capitol Reef National Park in south-central Utah. That park is actually pretty nice. There aren’t many people and it’s got several different types of nice canyon hikes. On Saturday we hiked the Burro…
