New Video Alert! I changed my mind re: how I wanted to present the content from my big hike earlier this year and finally decided to lead with the “Overview” video. I will follow that up with the more in-depth episodic/vlog content later this fall. I’m pretty happy with how… 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 features trekking across the sandy plateau and seeing some interesting geology and other sites along the way such as Button Pocket, Middle and Lower Reservoirs, The Cowboy Hat, Hole in the Rock, Pottery Butte, and more. The highlight… Continue reading
Here’s the second video from my Paria Plateau Loop Hike. It features hiking down the narrows of Paria Canyon and visiting a few diversions along the way. It’s the second time I’ve hiked this section and I enjoyed it as much as the first. This time I didn’t continue to… Continue reading
