Molly and I ventured to Escalante yesterday for another glorious weekend of camping and hiking. After three hours of driving through the middle of nowhere (the last 30 miles of which were on a horrid washboarded dirt road), we finally arrived at the trailhead for our first hike. We get out of the car, take...
Toroweap is the narrowest part of the Grand Canyon, and the place where the cliffs drop 3,000 feet straight down into the Colorado River. Though it’s in the national park, they don’t charge you to go in, or to camp, and dogs are allowed. Basically, it rules. But it’s out there… way out there. If...
I got up way too early and got home way too late yesterday. It was a very long, very wonderful day spent fishing with my friend Andrew up at Kolob Reservoir. A veteran fly fisher, Andrew says the best time to fish is early morning. So we got there really, really early, but we didn’t...
After going to breakfast Saturday morning, Molly, Terrah, Haley, and I went hiking up north of town. We found a portal to nowhere and a magic tree. more photos here.
I am so proud of my dog. Yesterday, for the first time, she went on a truly off-lead hike. Up until now, the closest we have really gotten to this, other than maybe a few seconds off, is when we hike with the leash dragging behind her. But yesterday, she went all the way. I...
Friday evening after work, me, Molly, Terrah, Haley, and Jeffrey went for a hike to a magical world where frogs and dogs are friends, and a secret door to Narnia lies not far from the Shire… all in the heart of Angel Canyon. Miss Molly took pretty pictures. More here.
Since I couldn’t do King’s Peak this weekend, I knew I would at least need to do another smaller peak as a dayhike during the one good day of weather. There are no shortage of peaks to hike up in northern Utah, but with dogs not allowed in Big or Little Cottonwood Canyons, and most...
Posts have been sparse lately because first my internet died, and then my harddrive shortly thereafter. All is finally well, several weeks later, but I’m falling behind on some posts. Now I will attempt to catch up. The weekend before last, me, Molly and Terrah explored up around Navajo Lake on Cedar Mountain. We brought...
Haley and I have been hiking Squaw a lot lately… as in five of the past six days. I’m planning on climbing Kings Peak next weekend, and I need to get my ass in gear. Squaw is a stroll through the park compared to Kings (ten times less distance and five times less elevation gain),...
One of my cats died today. Sad, yes, but unexpected, no. Misty, one of the cats that came with my house, was old, going through renal failure, and weighed less than five pounds. The meds I gave her everyday were the only thing keeping her alive. So last week, when she stopped eating, began stumbling,...
