FYI — Hike Video now posted as well. I’d never done the Havasu Falls Hike in the Grand Canyon because it always seemed like a bit of a circus in my humble opinion: there’s a crazy permit system, exorbitant fees, over-crowded camping, and hoards of obnoxious people all fighting to… Continue reading
UPDATE: The Salt Lake Tribune ran an article with my findings. 🙂 UPDATED UPDATE: We know now the reality — read at end of page. ~~~ If you follow Utah hiking posts on social media, chances are you recently saw the story about about “Eco-Terrorism in Utah“. I don’t want to… Continue reading
2020 Update: each section below is now clickable leading to its daily journal, photo gallery, and video! In spring 2018 I hiked 726.5 miles over 44 days from Zion to Arches. It was a great hike and I accomplished most of what I set out to do. Similar to the… Continue reading
After a long delay, I’m finally ready to share my video content from this spring’s Zion to Arches Hike. Once I began wading through all my stuff I realized it was going to be a big task. With nearly 8hrs of raw footage and thousands of photos and 360-degree shots,… Continue reading
Just a week after completing my Zion to Arches Hike (more content on that coming soon — I promise!), I got an impromptu invite to join a float trip down Cataract Canyon. It was my first real white-water trip and it was awesome. We began by motoring down Meander Canyon… Continue reading
I’m happy to announce that last Thursday I wrapped up my Zion to Arches Hike. 🙂 As usual, not everything went exactly according to plan, but… after last year’s abbreviated hike I’m elated (and relieved) that I was able to go the distance. It took a bit longer and more… Continue reading

Another 360° video capturing the ambiance of my 6-day trek through Arches National Park, Moab, and Behind the Rocks in the spring of 2017. The video is best experienced via VR goggles or a mobile device with auto rotation. PC users with good video cards may control the POV with… Continue reading
I’ve updated my Hayduke Trail Reference to include an Interactive Map. Similar to my Master Map, this feature showcases the official Hayduke Route and its major landmarks, points of interest and water resources. It also shows many of the possible alternate routes and diversions. Almost everything is clickable allowing users… Continue reading
The Barracks is a great canyon along the East Virgin River just outside Zion National Park. Sections of the lower end rival the Narrows, but without all the crowds. Though most people just visit the lower canyon, it is possible to hike the entire 22-mile stretch from Mt. Carmel… Continue reading
