A weekend in the Abajo Mountains about an hour sou A weekend in the Abajo Mountains about an hour south of us. 
..
We enjoyed fall weather and a favorite sunset view that takes in much of the landscape we call home. From the summit of this mountain, we can see Bears Ears, Navajo Mountain, Ute Mountain, the San Juans, Canyonlands, Beef Basin, the La Sals, "Behind the Rocks," Comb Ridge, and even all the way to Ship Rock, among other places.
..
 It is a special place and one of our favorites.
... 
Along the way, we saw a bit of fall color, dendroglyphs showing the local ranching history, and a much older Pueblo site.

If I have a philosophy about lightweight backpacki If I have a philosophy about lightweight backpacking, it is that taking fewer items and a more minimalist philosophy make for fewer pounds carried. And that it’s a system, not the individual pieces of gear, that matters overall.
...
The items you carry and how they work together make for a lighter load overall.
...
In the same way, I started looking at the overall system I use for couples’ backpacking. It is easy to fall into the trap of only looking at individual pieces of gear on a spreadsheet and not the overall equipment carried by two people. 
..
Even more so than my solo backpacking, looking at the gear system for both of us combined lets us save weight, hike more efficiently, be safe and comfortable, and (most of all) enjoy our time together in the backcountry.

We used the CT and CDT as a backbone to hike to and fro over four days. The weather gods smiled upon us overall with classic fall weather.

On the way out of town, we somehow forgot the tent body. The three-person 7.5 lb backpacking tent we use for car camping got used for backpacking! A bit of schlep for 4 days and over the passes...builds character! 🙂
