Sharing some more content from my short hike to Kanarra Falls last month. NOTE: if you haven’t already had a chance, be sure to check out the standard video I posted a few weeks ago. 👍 Now one can now take a “virtual hike” with me via the 360-degree video. Click… Continue reading
I finally got a chance (and a permit) to hike Kanarra Falls a few weeks ago. I did the approximately 4-mile hike late in the day to avoid the crowds and the heat. I only saw about 15 other people and was the last one to leave the parking area… Continue reading
One possible silver lining to not taking a spring hike this year was that I got to spend some time updating my site. The latest improvement which has actually been a long time in the making… updated maps! Over the years I’ve changed tech on this site a few times.… Continue reading

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
