A fantasic romp up one of Zion’s roadside summits.

Yardy Yard Yard Yarrr! Yard Peak, Uinta Mountains
A dry October provided the perfect moment to climb another of the Uinta high points.
Spring in the Newfoundland Range
New job, new adventures. The Newfoundland Range has always been one of those objectives that beckon but are just out of reach. I’ve often stared at their beauty from the Silver Island Range or the Grassy Range, wondering if I’d
Emigration Canyon Watershed Looping
Why? Because it’s near my house. Probably no other good reason. I’m sure it has been done many times in the past – but for some reason I’d always wanted to link up the full watershed ridgeline/boundary of Emigration Canyon.

Circum-thrash of Salt Lake’s Red Butte Canyon
This was from last May. An interesting quick jaunt. Tucked above the University of Utah is a quaint, scrub oak filled Canyon that is all but closed to the general populace. Red Butte Canyon, with its proximity to historic Fort
Back from the Dead
Here’s a recommendation – don’t try to migrate your blog to a new platform yourself. It ends in trouble. Big trouble in little Wasatch. Perhaps it’s time for a purge and reboot? Forced?
