The weekend of 9 Jun 07, Tracy and I finally headed out for our first mountain trip of the year. Even though it had actually snowed in the Wasatch a few days earlier, I was sick and tired of winter, and I was bound and determined to…
Over the long President’s Day weekend of February 17, 2007, Tracy and I decided to head back to Yellowstone to try our luck at seeing the wolves again. Since Yellowstone only has one entrance open in the winter, it’s a long seven hour drive from Salt Lake…
Causey Reservoir is a great little lake just east of Huntsville, UT, and on 3 Feb 07, Tracy and I took a day-hike out there. I’ve been reading news stories about mountain lions out there, so, of course, I had faint hopes. We didn’t see any signs…
These are pictures from around Utah in 2007 that didn’t warrant a full trip report. Lost Creek and Antelope Island, UT – December 22, 2007 Stillwater Reservoir, UT – September 15, 2007 Crescent Lake, UT – August 19, 2007 Canyonlands, UT – August 11,…
The weekend of October 6, 2006, Tracy, Jessica, and I went to Yellowstone. Jessica had never been, so when she came to visit we figured that would be a good place to take her. We also planned on taking her to the Tetons since the last time…
Looking for some great fall colors, on 30 Sep 06, Tracy and I hiked the Row Bench trail just outside of Heber City. This trail had lots of aspen, and we didn’t see one person in 7.5 miles of hiking, even though the trail is right off…
I had a co-worker visiting Utah from Portland, so I convinced him to let me take him on an overnighter in the Uintas. So on August 5, 2006, he and I went backpacking at Granddaddy Lake in the High Uintas Wilderness of northern Utah. Being from sea…
On July 30, 2006, Tracy and I hiked the White Pine Lake trail near the Mount Naomi Wilderness in northern Utah. The trailhead at Tony Grove Lake was a little crowded, and you have to pay $3 to park at the trailhead, but we had made the…
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,…
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…
