A swell time over Thanksgiving ... @ramblinghemloc A swell time over Thanksgiving ... @ramblinghemlock and I spent part of the Thanksgiving holiday with our friend Mike. We hiked, camped, and saw pictographs and petroglyphs over old travel paths. ... #hiking #camping #pictographs #petroglyphs #utah
@ramblinghemlock uses her gear and clothing for a @ramblinghemlock uses her gear and clothing for a long time. Alas, it all wears out. Joan's replacing some long-time gear and clothing, including her 2011 Melly fleeces. .. She went with the Utah-based @squakmountainco grid fleece hoodie as an active-use replacement. So far, she likes it and has shared her thoughts. I included my .05 worth as well. .. 🧥 LINK IN PROFILE ⛺
Into the canyon ... Another backpacking trip into Into the canyon ... Another backpacking trip into the canyon bottom. I don't think we'll ever tire of the early winter light where the images seem prominent, the alcoves with structures always feel warm, and the canyon views seem that much crisper. And a hot drink post-trip, sipping it on the tailgate, and taking in the last views of the canyon below, always seem welcoming. ... #hiking #backpacking #camping #utah #pictographs #petroglyphs
Sunblesa H11 review .... For those who like the c Sunblesa H11 review .... For those who like the classic 2017 Nitecore Nu25, this headlamp's similar, with a few additional features. And, unlike the newer NU25s, still has that great two-button feature for light selection. ... I found that rather than something new, I found a refinement to the classic NU25 that’s slightly lighter with some features that make the Sunblesa H11 a viable alternative. Especially if Nitecore phases out the 2017 model. ... **🎒 Review via link in profile 🔦 ** #hiking #backpacking #camping
The November Light ... Of all the months on the Co The November Light ... Of all the months on the Colorado Plateau, I think @ramblinghemlock and I enjoy November more than any other. The light of early winter seems to reflect so well on the canyon walls and seems less harsh than in earlier months. Fewer people mean we often have the canyons to ourselves. And the early nights lend themselves more to "seeing what we see" within a smaller area, ... We had our first below-freezing night backpacking for the season. But our cold weather gear, and a little rum and cider, made for a comfortable night's rest. ... No matter how many times we poke around these canyons, we always seem to see more sights new to us. All in canyons that always seem that much more stunning with each trip we take into them. ... #hiking #backpacking #camping #utah #pictographs #petroglyphs
The winter season ... It's that time of the year w The winter season ... It's that time of the year when @ramblinghemlock and I transition to winter camping and backpacking. We sack out in the truck during or before a trip, swap in warmer bags, and pack our thicker puffies and pads. .. More importantly, we transition to the canyon country that rewards wandering and savoring what's around the next bend or on the rims. It's not a time for thru-hiker style distances but meanderings to and fro around the Colorado Plateau. And the winter light seems to make the area that much more memorable. .. #hiking #camping #Utah #ColoradoPlateau
