Ruins built into the wall of Butler Wash Sometimes the best getaways are not planned — that’s kinda how this trip to Bears Ears National Monument happened. Steve and I had a couple of days without the kiddos and our short list of options required 1) Somewhere we’ve never been …
WE FOUND DUCK HEAD PERSON!!! We set out to find a crap-ton of petroglyphs in Cane Beds, AZ. ON DAY ONE: (read about that trip here) we found a bunch of cool glyphs and panels, but we didn’t find the elusive Duck Head person who is kinda a big deal …
Basket site in Rosy Canyon DAY ONE:Oh man — I’m completely obsessed with rock art. Whenever we are out hiking and exploring, coming upon a wall filled with ancient drawings, petroglyphs and pictographs, I imagine it’s something like coming face to face with your favorite celebrity.

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 …
I love love love dinosaur tracks. Here in Kanab, there are quite a few spots to see some mega-cool tracks (like this place. or this place.) But Moab has even BIGGER ones. And the best news is that they are fairy easy to get to. The first track site we …
To celebrate my 40th birthday, the fam — along with our best friends Lisa and Darren — headed to Moab for some adventuring. We had a pretty packed itinerary, and a few lofty goals. One was to hike to delicate arch on my bday — and the other was to …
