Our trusty Xterra of nearly 15 years was starting to go, and we didn’t feel safe anymore driving deep into the high desert hills. So, we got an upgrade 🙂  And this weekend decided to try her out in the sandy, winding roads just east of Kanab. The new ride …

There’s something about this place…. pictographs near Kanab

utah0rbust March 30, 2020 Pictographs

Many years ago I was taken to a very special and sacred place. It was so hidden, so remote. I could barely remember how to get here but with the latest rules of “social distancing” (nothing really that new to me!) I thought that this weekend might be a good …

Steep hike to amazing rock art!

utah0rbust March 26, 2020 Petroglyphs

I’m trying to see the silver lining right now with the mass hysteria surrounding COVID-19. Kids are homeschoolin’, work is crazy, and being so far away from my friends and family in PA has me stressed. Thank goodness for outdoor therapy. It’s a real thing, y’all! Over the weekend we …

Khota Circus petroglyphs: Gold Butte National Monument

utah0rbust December 31, 2019 Petroglyphs

A couple years ago, President Obama designated Gold Butte as a National Monument. This special place has been one of my top all favorite areas in the entire USA. It’s so completely awesome. For one, it’s so remote that you can pretty much guarantee you won’t see many people (we …

Jill Williams

I'm Jill and I'm an outdoor junkie, personal trainer, and certified bunny hugger. I am in love with the red rocks and desolate landscape that southern Utah offers. The outdoors is what feeds my soul. I love of trail running, hiking, exploring and photography. I spend nearly all of my free time exploring the high desert with my husband, 2 kids, and an unruly pack of mutts. xoxo
