Brown Duck Basin
On July 22, 2006, I did a solo overnighter to Brown Duck Basin in the Uintas. It was crazy hot in the city, so I figured I needed to get away to the mountains. This was a pretty good hike, but it gained a lot of elevation,…

Swasey Lakes
On June 25, 2006, we hiked up to Swasey Lakes in the High Uintas Wilderness of Utah. This was the last trail we hiked in October before it got cold…actually, it had already gotten cold. But we only made it as far as the top of Long…
Hellroaring Creek
The Memorial Day weekend of May 27, 2006, Tracy and I went to Yellowstone again. The weather forecast was calling for lots of snow throughout Utah and southern Wyoming (and, yes, it was almost June), so we thought we would give Yellowstone a chance, because I was…
Spooky Gulch
On May 13, 2006, Tracy and I finally made it to the Escalante National Monument in southern Utah. We had been in the Monument a few times, but we hadn’t done any real hiking there. So we decided to hit the REALLY narrow slot canyons of Spooky…
Grand Gulch
On April 29, 2006, Tracy and I hiked the Grand Gulch Trail in south-eastern Utah. The trail is on BLM land near Natural Bridges National Monument. We started at the ranger station, where you have to pay $2 per person, and hiked down the Kane Gulch Trail…
Cat Canyon
On April 15, 2006, Tracy and I headed to Cat Canyon in western Utah, just south of Delta. Having learned our lesson about early spring hikes in the Uintas, we decided to head to the desert mountains. I had read that mountain lions frequented this area, so…
Lake Powell
During the week of March 20, 2006, Chris and I took a kayaking trip to Lake Powell in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area near Page, AZ. We rented two sea kayaks on Monday in Page and then headed out to the lake. We ended up putting…
Yellowstone
The weekend of March 11, 2006, Tracy and I decided to make a trip to see Yellowstone in the winter. I have been wanting to go for a long time, but it’s really hard to get up there in the winter because the north entrance in Gardiner,…
Sonoran Desert National Monument
In early January 2006, it occurred to me that I had never seen real cacti. So I did some research to find out where “real” cacti were, and it seemed they were called saguaro, and they could be found in southern Arizona. After looking at a map…
Various Utah Pictures – 2006
