The collection of photos from my Zion to Green River Hike. I had so many photos that I wanted to share/archive, I decided to split them up into the sections of the hike. Click on any title or photo below to see the gallery for that section. Most are w/o captions,… Continue reading
In spring 2022 I set out on my Zion to Green River Hike. It was an amazing trek even though I didn’t really start in Zion or end in Green River (cue the “It’s about the journey” cliché!) Now that the Daily VLOG is finally finished I wanted to share a bit… Continue reading
In April 2022 I did a nine-day loop hike on and around the Paria Plateau. Now that the video series is complete, I wanted to add a written report summary for this hike as well and share some photos and map. This might be a bit more brief than my… 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

Asay Slot (pronounced as in AC/DC) is a cool side canyon in the Upper Paria drainage. The lower portion is easily accessible and just off the Paria. Backpackers visiting the area can drop their packs and explore the short and shallow slot and then be back to the river within… Continue reading
approx 3 miles round-trip Yellow Rock is an interesting geologic formation that sits atop the reef called the Cockscomb in the southern portion of Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. Though there is no official trail, a fairly-well-worn route zig-zags about a mile up a gully to the massive outcrop of… Continue reading
