This past weekend we went on a backpacking trip to visit the beautiful pictographs of the Hades Site in Arizona. See the full Trip Report here: Exploring The Esplanade

Diane and I got home late last night after spending the previous three days exploring the Esplanade in the Grand Canyon. This is a photo of our last campsite at dusk. See the full Trip Report here: Exploring The Esplanade

I just thought I'd share that my 900th Trip Report here on ADVENTR.co has been posted up on the blog this morning! Only 100 more to go until I hit 1,000! I guess I've been doing this for a long time now. Check it out below! A Weekend in the

I just thought I'd share this quick iPhone shot of my photo in The Great Escape section of the latest issue of OutdoorX4 Magazine.

One of two kivas which were built side-by-side that I hiked to on Saturday with Alan. This one still had the roof intact while the other one was collapsed. See the full Trip Report here: A Weekend in the Bears Ears

I just got back from a nice weekend on Cedar Mesa and visited a couple new ruins while I was there. See the full Trip Report here: A Weekend in the Bears Ears

One of the many petroglyph panels we visited in Nine Mile Canyon over the weekend. See the full Trip Report here: Nine Mile Canyon 2018

This was a very nice petroglyph that Diane spotted in Nine Mile Canyon this past weekend. The figure was probably around three feet tall, so it was pretty large! See the full Trip Report here: Nine Mile Canyon 2018

The last time I was here is was completely dry, so I'm glad there was water in it this time! See the full Trip Report here: Bartlett Flat to the Blue Hills

I had a great summer of peak-bagging in the mountains this year and made it to the top of a lot of peaks. Earlier in the year I had set myself a goal of climbing at least 25 new peaks this summer, but I quickly blew past that number so

Just a cool little alcove I found on Saturday. See the full Trip Report here: Bartlett Flat to the Blue Hills

The views from the Horsehoof Campsite in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park were pretty awesome! See the full Trip Report here: Searching for Starvation Pocket

After a last minute change in plans and spending two nights at the Horsehoof Campsite in The Needles this past week, I must say that it's definitely one of my favorite campsites in Canyonlands National Park! Great views all around! See the full Trip Report here: Searching for Starvation Pocket

This morning Diane and I are headed up to Salt Lake City again for another concert. I'm pretty excited about this show since I like every single band on it! Blessthefall and The Word Alive both put out two of my favorite albums this year, Thousand Below and DED put

While I didn't get too much of a chance to photograph the fall colors this year, I was able to squeeze in a sunrise hike this morning in the Raggeds Wilderness. I think it was worth it! See the full Trip Report here: A Taste of Autumn in the West

I just received a copy of the book Comets: Nature and Culture by Andrew Karam because I provided a pair of photos of the Yellow Comet pictographs that are used in the book. Below is an iPhone photo of the page featuring my photos.

I just spent the last four days on the Green River in Labyrinth Canyon and had an awesome time! However, since I'm going to be spending all of next week in southern Utah I won't have the time to work on a trip report right now, so it will probably

The fall colors seem to have arrived on the western slope of Colorado early this year, so I took advantage and headed up onto the Grand Mesa for sunset this evening with Diane. The earlier fall colors actually worked out better for me since I'm going to be pretty busy

Just a little nice morning light on the mountains across the valley as I hiked to the summit of Anvil Mountain near Silverton yesterday. See the full Trip Report here: Cinnamon Pass Peaks & Anvil Mountain

It's been way too long since the last time I went on a river trip, but that's finally going to change next weekend! Besides getting my boat out to make sure it still holds air, I also picked up a new RTIC cooler that should keep my drinks cold for

While we were in Henrys Fork in the High Uintas Wilderness to climb Kings Peak over the weekend, I caught this beautiful sunset on Saturday evening. See the full Trip Report here: Top of Utah: Kings Peak via Henrys Fork

Happy Labor Day! It looks like my Flickr account hit 5 million views this evening! I probably won't mention my Flickr views again until I reach 10 million, so I wonder how long that will take...

We spent the past few nights on our first visit to the High Uintas Wilderness in Utah. This is a photo of our campsite in Henrys Fork the night before we climbed Kings Peak (13,528), the highest point in Utah. See the full Trip Report here: Top of Utah: Kings

It has been a few years since I last took a full week off from work in August to spend in the mountains of Colorado. This year I thought I would revive that tradition again for a week of peak-bagging! Here are links to the Trip Reports from my 2018

Is it fitting that my 14,000th photo on Flickr is of a 14er (Mount Shavano)?

After a few hours of steady rain that we thought would never end on Saturday evening, there was a brief but colorful sunset. Since there wasn't much in the area near our campsite to put in the foreground, these dead trees (beetle kill) in silhouette had to do. See the

Just a bumpy drive to the Hancock Lakes Trailhead with Sewanee Peak (13,132) in the background. See the full Trip Report here: Hancock Pass Peaks

After watching my stats on Flickr yesterday, I noticed that nine of the top ten most viewed photos on my account have been taken within the last year, and I thought it would be fun to highlight those photos here on my blog. It's always interesting to see which photos

Yesterday my photo of a lightning bolt strike from the Angel Peak Scenic Area was featured near the top of Flickr's Explore page and it racked up over 70,000 views in one day to become my most viewed photo. Overall, my account saw over 100,000 views yesterday which is the

This evening it looks like I'm going to my fourth concert in just over a week to see the Butcher Babies, Hyro the Hero and Tetrarch at the Mesa Theater.

We just got back from a long weekend in New Mexico and I managed to catch this bolt of lightning during a late night monsoon storm when we were out exploring some badlands near Bloomfield on Saturday night. See the full Trip Report here: Aztec Ruins & Angel Peak

This morning we are driving to New Mexico so we can see Breaking Benjamin, Nothing More, Five Finger Death Punch and Bad Wolves at the Isleta Amphitheater in Albuquerque tomorrow evening. We'll be spending tonight near Bloomfield to break up the drive and so we can visit Aztec Ruins National

This evening Diane and I are headed back to the Mesa Theater so we can see Light The Torch. I really enjoyed the album they put out earlier this year and am looking forward to seeing them live!
