Cottonwood Narrows, in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, is a great, family-friendly hike that is practically one of the most scenic places around. This is actual real life. This is real scenery World’s largest dirt pile? Grosvenor Arch – double the cool
Goofs It’s a pretty good deal living in Kanab, UT. Kanab is literally smack in the middle of so SO many cool places and National Parks. Zion National Park is just 25 miles away and when the work/school-week gets a little stressful, it’s a sure bet that Mom is gonna …
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 …

Every weekend I go on the internet looking for somewhere new to explore. I found a blog about this elusive man carved into a rock near Cedar City, UT. Locals refer to him as Shot Put Man. Going on just a few bits and pieces of info, we headed over …
