Zion to Arches: Updated Full Report

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 the full detailed report as promised… until now.

Day 1

Day 44

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The updated trip report page now includes links to a detailed section page for each part of the hike. Each detail page includes the full day-by-day journal, its own new photo gallery, as well as a link to the segment video.

All-in-all it was over 40 pages of written description plus over 700 photos in the galleries — no wonder it took so long!

So… have a look at the updated Trip Report Summary Page, or any of the links below to jump straight to a specific section.

Thanks for following along!

  1. Great post. I have watched all of your videos; wonderful work, thanks very much.

    Just wondering if you have tried any of the technical canyons in Zion, or anywhere else on the Colorado plateau. My wife and I did Coyote Gulch, and one technical canyon: Pine Creek in Zion, which was superb.

    Have you read any of the canyon guide books by Steve Allen or Michael Kelsey?

    • Thanks! Yes, Kelsey and Allen have been inspirations to me for a long time. I probably have most of their books within easy grasp at any moment while when I’m at home. I’ve never done any canyoneering, though I’d like to at some point. Cheers!

  2. Been to Utah/Arizona-its a spiritual thing. Thank you for sharing your travels. They take me back , renew my soul and save wear and tear on the sacred beauty.
