Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
I thought climbing a mountain would be the biggest hiking accomplishment of this trip. Today I was proven wrong, but I hope that I’m correct to say that our biggest accomplishment was staying alive while hiking Arches NP.

Read More The RouteAs we prepare for our second adventure through the national parks of the west I’ve been sprucing up this blog for us to record and share our travels.
