One of the most impressive pictograph panels in southern Utah December 28 in Kanab. What a frosty day! Kanab proper was melted — and Paul (my running bff ALSO IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY) was the selector of today’s adventure. He decided we should head North a couple miles to run …
Rainy days usually make me sad. But even rain can’t keep Zion National Park from being awesome. Actually — we found magic today. We were at the very right place.. at the very right time. And lower canyon was transformed into a mega wonderland of waterfalls — practically 100000 of …
Starlight Cave in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument (GSENM) is a place I’ve been plotting to go to since I moved to Utah nearly 15 years ago. Steve and I tried (once upon a time) to find the cave (filled with really old and amazing pictographs) but with little …
Mother’s Day is my favorite day. I love seeing my little boys grow up into sturdy, adventurous big boys. I am so lucky that they share my love of exploring (MOST TIMES). Today I got to choose the adventure — and I had read about Weaver’s Cave a while back …
Sometimes I just need to get outside for an hour or two — after work — as the sun is setting. JJ and I first tried to find an elusive waterglyph nearby (FAIL) so instead I headed to a local favorite called The Clamshell. My adventure buddy for the evening. …

Another day, another glyph. “Encouraged” the kids to help me find this one. We hiked way up to the top of a mesa overlooking Kanab Creek to the west. And we had success 🙂
Double glyph that I found in Kanab, UT There’s a new type of petroglyph that I’m currently obsessed with 😁. These very distinct rock carvings are seen around the Arizona Strip region of the northern Southwest. And here in Kanab where I live, there’s a whole bunch of them — …
Human centipede weirdness Finding new rock art sites makes me happy. Today my friend Jen (who’s just as obsessed w/ rock art — maybe more — than me) said she knew of a place that had some amazing panels and thought we could easily hike to them in a winter’s …
One of my FAV rock art sites in southern Utah is super accessible and completely amazing. Every time I visit the Santa Clara River Reserve (in Ivins, UT) I discover more and more art — and every time I find myself asking “how did I miss this last time?!” 🙂 …
