Labyrinth Canyon
A paddle through Labyrinth Canyon on the Green River is another bucket list trip. Soaring canyon walls, lazy river days, and the solitude of southern Utah make this an amazing trip.
Buck Canyon
The weekend of 6 May 11, I convinced Tracy that we should go do our first technical canyon. She didn’t really want to do it, so I found a canyon that only had one rappel and was dry. I had to do a lot of scouring online…
Grand Canyon

Southwest Tour
The weekend of February 19, 2010, Jessica and David came out for one last hoo-rah before they became parents. Since it was the dead of winter, and it seemed to be snowing as much in southern Utah as it was in the mountains, we decided to make…
