Announcements that are general in nature.
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
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
I added the track of my Grand Escalante Loop Hike to my Master Map when I posted the Overview Video, but now I’ve also made the full interactive/detailed map available. Click the following image/link to launch the map in a new window. As usual most tracks and waypoints are clickable… 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
My Zion to Green River Hike is complete! Last week I finished trekking 613 miles over 37 days winding my way across southern Utah. It took a bit longer than expected, but it was an amazing time with numerous new-to-me remote locations and unique experiences. I’m just beginning to sort through… Continue reading
Hello Again — remember me? I’ve been a bit quiet this “off season”, but I have been doing some stuff behind the scenes and even managed to squeeze in an early season hike. In early April I did a 9-day, 120-ish mile hike down Buckskin Gulch and the Lower Paria… Continue reading
In case you haven’t seen… my Bryce to Bears Ears Hike videos are continuing to roll out (albeit a little slower than expected.) I’ve been announcing each new episode on my Instagram Account along with some images from each portion of the hike. I realize not everyone follows me there,… Continue reading
I know I’ve been MIA for a while, but… …now I’m back AND I’m finally ready to share my latest video series! It covers my spring backpacking trip where I hiked for about 30 days and 500 miles across southern Utah from Bryce Canyon National Park to Bears Ears. The… Continue reading
