Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
We woke up and left Moab this morning. As I mentioned yesterday we’re all pretty sure we’ll be back again soon. There is just so much to do and see in that area that there’s no way we could do it all in just 4 days. After some legit bread for breakfast, so legit that […]
Read More Honey, I’m Good!Today we did not do a lot of hiking. We did 2.5 miles althgether. The total number of hikes we did was four little hikes. The first hike we did we saw one of three bridges in the monument. It was a 1.6 mile hike. Here is a picture of the bridge: The second stop […]
Read More The 15th DayThis morning we headed back to Canyonlands NP, this time to the popular Islands in the Sky district. We had a fabulous hike here last year on the Neck Springs trail, but didn’t go any deeper into the park than that so it was high on our list of places we wanted to return to. […]
Read More Walking On SunshineToday got off to a fabulous start and has just stayed on that track. Shortly after waking up I got a Taco Cat T-shirt for Father’s Day! After just a few more minutes I got a nice breakfast on the patio of the hotel. Then we only had to drive 10 minutes rather than the […]
Read More Piece of My HeartWe woke up this morning in one of the coolest places I’ve ever woken up: in the middle of the desert. We wanted to get an early start on the day since the forecast was for temperatures to be nearing 100 degrees by noon. Our alarms went off at 5 and I was up and […]
Read More Way Down We GoBest hike so far. I’ve loved Bryce Canyon since the first time I saw it back in 2010. The landscape is unlike anything anywhere. Even Cedar Breaks, which is remarkably similar, is lacking in hoodoos and hikeable trails. Today’s 14 mile journey through the entire northern part of the park was one of the coolest […]
Read More The DistanceWe woke up a bit on the late side this morning. Our plan had been to wake up bright and early to begin heading south. I heard water dripping and thought the hotel was leaking. Realizing that was stupid I thought it odd that we could hear someone else taking a shower. Realizing that was […]
Read More BrightWhat a mixed bag of luck today was for me. Things started off beautifully with a more leisurely morning at the hotel. We took some time to sleep in, repack our gear, and enjoy the surprisingly good Holiday Inn biscuits and gravy. The first trouble hit as I was making our regular lunch and I […]
Read More Carry OnIt’s been a crazy last 24 hours! After writing our blog posts from Echo Park last night we started getting ourselves ready for bed. Since we’re not really campers we really didn’t know what we were doing, but we did manage to improvise a pretty good evening. One of the highlights was warming up brats […]
