Brave Harry and I needed a day to forget about the stressful week. This kid is so much like his mom. We are both very sensitive and emotional. I’ve learned to cope mostly through physical activity. When I’m doing something physical — whether it’s running 50 miles, or trying to …
Harry relaxes in the shadows of this big arch Birthday Arch! The name alone just sounds fun — and the hike to get here was really easy and perfect for a spring or fall day with the family. The hike is about 4 miles round trip from where you park …
Very chilly hike to the falls at Zion National Park I love the off-season at Zion National Park. There are fewer crowds to navigate and you get to experience the beauty of Utah from a unique perspective — sometimes there is snow. Or waterfalls. Or icy streams. You are likely …
On the very first official day that Gold Butte was designated a National Monument (weirdly coincidental, we didn’t even plan that one!) we headed out on an adventure to find The Falling Man petroglyph. Steve and I hiked out this way back in 2015 to find the Kohta Circus panel …
Three Headed Man We found some petroglyphs “off the beaten path” near Hurricane, UT. Going off little more than a GPS map with red dots and circles from a friend, Steve and I set out to find the three-headed man panel and another site called “teacher’s rock”. It was a …
Dexter with his best buddy, J.J. Last week we lost our best cat friend, Dexter. I started to write this tribute a couple of times, but I’m going to be honest, it’s hard. I scoured hundreds (I’m not kidding!) of photos that we have taken of this special dude over …
Me and my minions at mesa arch. Moab is known for it’s arches. My heart belongs to Delicate Arch, but there are some other very nice ones around town 🙂 Mesa Arch (above) is pretty famous. But the downside is that we had to WAIT IN LINE for this pic. …
One of the coolest glyphs I’ve ever seen! On our fall Moab adventure, my goal was to hike to Delicate Arch at sunrise and to see as much rock art as I could possibly cram into 4 days. There are SO MANY (I mean, SO MANY!!) rock art panels in …
Love! Corona arch is a little bit off the beaten path and not in any of the national parks. It’s a really beautiful hike, with some cool little obstacles, and views in every direction and a lot of cairns! I never want him to grow up 🙂 🙂 climbing up …
For my big 4-0, I wanted to do something really special. I love delicate arch. It’s so beautiful and fragile. It’s on our license plate and it’s such a landmark and icon in Utah. Last time (years and years ago) that we were in Moab, the boys were both under …
