Announcements that are general in nature.
With my Spring 2020 trip indefinitely postponed, I’ve been going back through some content from previous years to add to my site. First up was to finally finish the FULL report for my 2018 Zion to Arches Hike. I finished the videos and written summary back then, but never followed-up with… Continue reading
Like most people around the world, COVID-19 has shifted my focus and forced me to change my upcoming plans. I was anxious to get out in April to test out some new gear while on a few shorter hikes,. Then in May I was to set out on another big… Continue reading
Quietly over this past year I’ve been publishing more pages of content to my Hayduke Reference section to assist “Haydukers” looking to hike that long-distance route.

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

Over the years I’ve consulted with several people/groups who have wanted to do their own hikes across Utah. For some reason or another, all of these talks have led to aborted attempts or abbreviated treks.
