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…
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…
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…
