It’s our 15th anniversary, so happy to spend my life with this person! Happy National Dog Day, Walter the Dog!! Yosemite Backpacking Pics. Top of Half Dome A bunch of photos from my Utah/Arizona trip! Kanab, Wire Pass/Buckskin Gulch, The Wave, Mt Humphreys. I feel very lucky to have such great longtime friends in my life. These two are high on the list! I been trying to get back to the cycling, so I’m giving the Zwift App a try. Hoping I can get in the habit of cranking out some miles in the garage a couple times a week, and get in some morning rides without being out in the dark! @gozwift #zwift I had a great time exploring around southern Utah last week. Started off with three days of backpacking in the Coyote Gulch to the Jacob Hamblin Arch, which is amazing and I was lucky to have the arch to myself both nights! After that it was campgrounds and day hikes. Did the Dry Fork-Peekaboo-Spooky Gulch Slot canyon loop, 6 amazing miles with probably 3 of them in the slot canyons. After that hike, I headed over to Bryce Canyon National Park, set up camp and explored around the park. Did the main hike through the ampitheater and a little more, amazing views! After that, I relaxed at camp before heading over to Sunset Point to find a nice place to enjoy the sunset and finish off a real nice trip! #brycecanyonnationapark #slotcanyon #naturalarch #optoutside Decided to do a quick day hike before heading to Bryce Canyon National Park, it was a good idea! Did the Dry Fork-Peek-a-boo-Spooky Gulch Slot Canyon Loop, it’s a non-technical loop of amazing slot canyons! It does get a little tight! Time-lapse from tonight’s dust-storm. It was dark out at 5:30pm for a bit! #haboob Saturday we headed up to campout by Lake Powell to celebrate Amy’s birthday. Got the truck in 4 wheel drive headed down to Lone Rock Beach, checked out Horseshoe Bend, took an awesome tour of Lower Antelope Canyon, and had some great meals at our excellent campsite! First Friday - Started the vacation off with a little Friday fun!
