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 …
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 …
One of my all-time favorite events is Balloons and Tunes, which happens each February in Kanab, UT (my awesome little town!). This post is really just to post a ton of pics and showcase the beauty of Kanab with stunning pink cliffs and fun hot air balloons! Enjoy 🙂 Have …

Wonderful pictographs at Flag Point near Kanab One of many huge three-toed dino tracks Flag point is a surreal place just a few miles east of Kanab that is littered with dinosaur tracks (HUGE ONES) and pictographs/petroglyphs. It’s a special feeling to make it up to the track site. The …
