// Adventures and Photography from the Colorado Plateau, Rocky Mountains & Beyond
Friday – Sunday, July 5-7, 2013
My plans this weekend were to drive over to the Tenmile – Mosquito Range so that I could climb at least one 14er and hopefully a second one, too. I left work on Friday and headed east. A few hours later I had my campsite setup along Fourmile Creek just outside of Fairplay. I had a little time before dark, so I decided to drive up to the trailhead for Mount Sherman and check it out. Mount Sherman was my planned hike on Saturday morning.

Independence Day | Thursday, July 4, 2013
A repeat of last year’s Fourth of July! We had such a good time last year that we decided to raft Glenwood Canyon again this year from Grizzly Creek to South Canyon. We got an early start, which meant there weren’t many people at the boat launch or on the river yet. The water was about 1000cfs higher this year over last, so there were a few fun rapids to go through. We had another nice half-day trip on the river.

I spent today showing my family around a few areas in the Moab area on a day trip into Utah. I didn’t take out my camera all day until we arrived at the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands in the late afternoon. The clouds and light made for some spectacular conditions that I just couldn’t pass up.

Wednesday – Friday, May 8-10, 2013
I have wanted to get on the San Juan River for a while, but because of the permit system in place I have never really tried. This year I decided it was finally time to try and secure a permit for myself and a few friends from work. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to get any permits from the original lottery. However, I was able to grab an opening at a later date. We had originally wanted to try and do the whole stretch of the San Juan from Sand Island to the Clay Hills Crossing, but the permit we were able to get only let us go to Mexican Hat on this trip.

I was originally planning on spending the entire weekend camping, exploring and photographing the Yant Flat area near St. George. I was going to be meeting up with my friend Jens from Germany and was also hoping to photograph a sunset and sunrise at the Candy Cliffs while I was there. Due to a few last minute changes in my plans, I only ended up spending a few hours on Saturday hiking around the area with Jens, so I will definitely have to return again in the future for some better photos.
