I’m not sure why it was a smart idea to mountain bike two days in a row. And to top it off, this trail would extend my further ride record to 9.8 miles.My original plan was to take the ‘Dino-Flow’ trail out and return on the ‘EKG’ trail. That was...
The past few days have been rough on my body. After mountain biking on Wednesday (for my second time in two years) I decided to stay out in the desert north of Moab to save myself the same drive again in the morning. I was planning to drive a few...
In preparation of Conor coming out to Moab next week, I have been scouting out some of the mountain biking and hiking trails to keep the young mind occupied while he is with me for the week. Today I visited and sampled the Brands Focus area just north of Moab...
Now, I have never used the services of a Hostel before, and if it were not for Walter the German hitchhiker asking me to drop him off here back in 2011, I’d have never thought about a Hostel as an option. Sure you can rent a cabin, or a room,...
I was forced to make a long drive through the Navajo Nation all in one stint due my required daily Internet connection for work. I knew that I would have none through the Navajo Nation and the first 60-70 miles of South-Eastern Utah. It would not be until near Blanding,...
In the morning, we quickly moved out to finally go check out the southern part of Canyonlands, known as the Needles section. We drove south into a head wind for 30 miles before turning west into yet another head wind for 30 more miles before making it into the park....
We departed Saturday afternoon with the aim to make it all the way into Moab, UT before 11pm where we would get a hotel room for the night. This didn’t work out so well with all hotels full when we arrived, and the 3 of us camping out in the...
Ugh! Im tired… after another 5 miles of great trail today I am beyond beat. The Northern part of Zion is much quieter with only about 10% of the traffic of the main canyon down south. Even with less traffic, it was rare that I had the trail to myself....
I drove into Zion Ntnl park and fixed me up some coffee and breakfast-burritos while watching the sunrise against the mountain side. Planning to hike the Angel’s Landing trail in a few hours; 5 miles of hard trail with the top of it being a cliff’s-edge scurry to the payoff...
Again, the alarm sounded at 5:30, but I didn’t get around to moving until 6:30. As much as I want, I just can not bring myself to get going that early. After my two cups of coffee, I took the half-hour drive into Arches National park to the Delicate Arch...
