I’m finally back to my computer and getting a chance to assemble some of my photos/video from my recent Zion to Capitol Reef Hike. The full trip report is still in process now done, but before that I put together a stand-alone video for Day 18 — the day I… Continue reading
Here’s a throw-back video from my first “big hike” in southern Utah. The 25-day trek took me across one of the longest “pavement free” stretches in the US; approximately from east of Zion to Capitol Reef National Park. Fairly new to long-distance hiking and cross-country travel, I carried WAY too… Continue reading
The video from my 5-day, 65-mile trek through the remote Moody Canyons and then on to explore the Waterpocket Fold. To mimic the “mood” of the trip, this video features quite a bit of walking through dramatic open spaces without any background music. During the solitary experience I resorted to… Continue reading
In mid-May I set out on my second loop hike in southern Utah in 2014. Yep, that means… no extended thru-hike this spring. 🙁 The goal this time was to explore Escalante’s “Lower East Side” including the Moody Canyons and the southern portion of the Waterpocket Fold. FYI: a Hi-res… Continue reading

For my next day of fun exploring southern Utah, I set out to find an alternate way into Upper Muley Twist. The goal was to find a way in from the west and connect to the top of the established trail in Upper Muley Twist Canyon. If this proved possible,… Continue reading

Video captures highlights of the 16-day, 248-mile trek from Escalante to Monticello including Grand Staircase Escalante, Harris Wash, Silver Falls Canyon, Capitol Reed, Lower Muley Twist, Henry Mountains, Trachyte Creek, Dark… Continue reading
Day 6 Started the day by heading out cross-country to the East. I was not able to get up the side canyon as I had hoped, so I had to retreat to an area where a rockslide allowed me to climb to plateau top. Once up on top it was… Continue reading
Below is the Daily Journal account from my original website which tracked my hike intended to stretch from outside Escalante, Utah to Monticello in spring of 2010. Read the details to see how it all turned out: FYI: a Route Map is available as well as the Hike Video! .… Continue reading
At the end of April 2009 I set out on my most ambitious long-distance hike to date: a 725-mile, 49-day journey across the entire state of Utah. It was the culmination of many months of planning after many, many years of shorter treks in the state. At that time I… Continue reading
