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
I’ve added a a new feature to the site called My Great Gallery. Not to be confused with the amazing pictograph panel in Canyonlands, the one here is a collection of my personal favorite locations, photos, and moments from my many Utah adventures.
