Coral Pink
The Coral Pink Sand Dune State Park in Utah is one not to miss should you be in the region visiting. This park is full of photographic opportunity. It’s an OHV Mecca, so you should know; going there for a vacation is going to mean plenty of OHV noise. However, outside the park are a load of Boondocking/Dispersed camping opportunities.
Buckskin Gulch
The Buckskin Gulch via the Wire Pass trailhead is one of the more epic hikes I have ever done. This past Christmas marks the second time I’ve ventured into this, one of the worlds largest slot canyons. The canyon is part of the Coyote Buttes North region and The Wire Pass trailhead is the same trail for the world famous Wave hike. Both require permits. Buckskin is a day use permit and not part of the lottery system that controls hikes to The Wave.
If you are ever in this area, don’t miss this hike. It’s utterly astounding and amazing and full of photography. Check out this post from some photography suggestions if you plan to hike to take photos.
Then I Was Terrified
We all face situations which scare us. They appear as daunting heights, potential tornados of emotion, even unscalable heghts. If I remember who made them all, who made me, and who’s side I’m on, well, it becomes easier to press on in spite of the fear.
There’s a lesson from Nehemiah I learned today that I want to share.
The Yellow Rock
There is an endless slew of hikes from which one can choose all throughout Utah. In particular, the stretch of road called Highway 89 and it’s cousin 89a leading east from Kanab Utah are replete with stunning hikes, vistas, and scenery that are second to none. In today’s post I want to take you to what is called The Yellow Rock.
Join me and read on.
Utah for Christmas
Well, we spent a full 9 days in the small city of Kanab, UT for Christmas with two of my sons and their ladies. While there, we made a number of hikes and today I want to share with you one of my all time favorites, the Deer Trap Mountain trail in Zion National Park.
A Night in Flagstaff
On our way out of the Phoenix area, we headed north through Sedona and into the Flagstaff area of Arizona. The changes in elevation brought a significant temperature and scenery change. While we only stayed one night, it was an epic night (errr morning)
14 Days in Golden Canyon
A see you later for the Golden Canyon in Arizona.
We spent 14 nights in the Golden Canyon area of Arizona, just east of Phoenix.
It was a lovely, although dusty, time meeting some great new friends and learning a number of things related to our experiences out here.
Courage to Stand
Do you have the level of courage necessary to stand in the face of opposition?
Life is full of hard choices. Many of the choices revolve around “fitting in” or going it alone.
Often, it’s the going it alone part that is required to be more like Jesus.
A Video from Arizona
We spent a number of weeks in a dispersed camping environment in Arizona. Specifically in the Queens Valley area. A location on Arizona State Trust land provided, through the permitting process in Arizona, an opportunity to dispersed camp…or boondock, for a total of 14 days. We met some great life long friends along the way. Please enjoy this update video from the floor of the Arizona Desert.
