We went to an obscure area outside Moab that we su We went to an obscure area outside Moab that we suspect has little use. ... We found old pack trails getting reclaimed by nature, old cattle troughs, no mentions in guidebooks, and USGS quads giving us the most reliable info. .. Along the way, we saw faint rock images, Doug firs, and desert big horns (Alas, I only had my phone accessible.) ... We'll need to poke around the nooks and crannies of this area in the future. ... #hiking #backpacking #petroglyphs #utah
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. ... #backpacking #utah #hiking #camping

It is a little early for our return to canyon coun It is a little early for our return to canyon country, but we received an overview of another place we plan to volunteer over the coming year. ... Also gave us a chance to see new things in a familiar place. ... Though hot during the day, the nights and mornings provide bliss with cool temperatures. Perfect camping weather with the crickets chirping, the Milky Way above, and shooting stars on the horizon. ... #utah #hiking #camping #pictographs #petroglyphs
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. ... 🎒 Read more at the link in bio ⛺ ... #hiking #backpacking #camping
