Zion to Capitol Reef: Week 1 — To the Paria
In late April I set out on my latest long-distance hike in southern Utah. The goal this time out was to hike from Zion National Park to Capitol Reef National Park. The start and end points would be similar to my “Grand Staircase” hike in 2006, but the new route… Continue reading
VIDEO: Flash Floods in May?
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
New Hike: Zion to Capitol Reef
This weekend I’m going to head out on my newest big hike across southern Utah. This time I’ll trek from Zion National Park to Capitol Reef National Park via a wandering route of approximately 300 miles. I’m excited to re-visit some of my favorite places as well as explore a… Continue reading
VIDEO: Grand Staircase/Escalante Hike 2006
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

Death Hollow & The Western Mail Trail
This is a throwback report for my 3-day trip to Death Hollow in November 2008. Death Hollow had long been a destination on my TODO list. For some reason or another it never managed to make the itinerary despite my passing the area on countless occasions. With a short break… Continue reading
Video: Moody Canyons & The Fold
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
Moody Canyons & The Fold
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
Video: Around-Zion Hike
The video from my 6-day, 80-mile trek AROUND much of Zion National Park — plus a look at how to make an even better loop (ideally during a warmer season.) Highlights of the trip include: Coalpits Wash, Cougar Mountain, The Right Fork, Cave Valley, Wildcat Canyon, The West Rim, East… Continue reading
