I’m finally ready to share the extended series for my Grand Escalante Loop Hike from last spring. The original video was more of a highlights reel so I always intended to share more of the details from the adventure. After much contemplation I decided to NOT do daily videos this… Continue reading
Well… my spring didn’t quite shape up like I’d hoped. After having only gone to a doctor twice in the last 30+ years, I’ve had nine visits this year already! It was eventually determined that my knee has a severely torn meniscus and I should undergo arthroscopic surgery. That caused… Continue reading
Happy New Year, Everybody! ✌ (is it OK for me to still say that at the end of January?!) The last several months have been somewhat chaotic for me and thus I haven’t been able to do many of the updates here that I’d hoped to do. I actually caught… Continue reading
A belated… New Video Alert! Things have been somewhat chaotic for me lately (follow-up post on that soon), but I wanted to make an official post about the video I created for my trip from last fall. This was when I went back to Death Hollow with friends to witness the… Continue reading
Wanted to update everyone that I’m still working on the more-detailed episodic videos for my Grand Escalante Loop Hike. They should begin rolling out later this month in early 2024. The delay is for a good reason though as I got distracted by ANOTHER trip to Utah! Last month I returned to… Continue reading

Click the following image/link to launch the map in a new window. As usual most tracks and waypoints are clickable… Continue reading
New Video Alert! I changed my mind re: how I wanted to present the content from my big hike earlier this year and finally decided to lead with the “Overview” video. I will follow that up with the more in-depth episodic/vlog content later this fall. I’m pretty happy with how… Continue reading
Back in June I completed my latest big hike: 33 days of wandering through water-filled canyons, sandy plateaus, and snow-patched mountains around Escalante. I explored many new-to-me routes and revisited some old favorites. Some of it was amazing; some of it was miserable — that’s just the way it goes… Continue reading
It was a weird winter. And a weird spring so far. Thus I guess it only seems appropriate that the plan for my Spring 2023 Hike is a bit weird as well. After what seems like six months of constant rain and dreary weather, I’m finally headed back out for… Continue reading
The collection of photos from my Zion to Green River Hike. I had so many photos that I wanted to share/archive, I decided to split them up into the sections of the hike. Click on any title or photo below to see the gallery for that section. Most are w/o captions,… Continue reading
