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
