Snaggletooth
The Snaggletooth Wilderness area hosts a BLM Primitive camp ground. We chose to stop here on our way south from the Valley of Fire area in Nevada to our final destination at the Glamis North RV park in Niland California. I’ll share my thoughts and a few photos with you from along the way.
Help from Subscribers?
I’m considering some upgrades and changes to my site. I now have the option to add a Members Only section to the site.
However, this will come with a cost. I am looking for input through this post, from you, as one of our subscribers as to how and what you might see at valuable to be added. Please read on and if you feel compelled, give me some of your insight into the matter!
A Drone Rescue
It was frustrating day.
A day I anticipated with great eagerness. The opportunity to finally fly my DJI Avata FPV drone through a close walled canyon. Something I’ve longed to do for some time.
After a long ride through a very bumpy, dusty, dry terrain, we made it. I launched the Avata, began my flight, and almost as soon as I began the flight, it ended. Crashed into a bush…of all places, on top of the mountain. Read on to learn the story.
A Kanab Utah Video
You’ve recently been reading about all the places we visited in Kanab Utah while there during the latter weeks in December. Today, I wanted to share with you a video which in fact documents all of the locations we have been writing about.
I Love the intro to this video, but the content should prove helpful to you as well. I hope you enjoy it.
An Old Movie Set
Our final night in Kanab Utah was spent driving to the old, historic movie set/site called the Paria Townsite. A short 5 mile drive into what seemed like another world.
The views were epic and I was awestruck by the landscape in the area. No wonder the Mormons wanted to settle out there.
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.
