On our recent trip to the La Sal Mountains, the SC On our recent trip to the La Sal Mountains, the SCAs borrowed some camping gear with a cold weather focus. ... Both SCAs marveled when I discussed the price of these warm and practical pieces of equipment. ... One of the SCAs kiddingly (??) said that a list with links to all these nifty, warm, and inexpensive items they borrowed for the weekend would be beneficial. .. And of this discussion came this more curated list. Though my site contains many articles about practical budget gear items, I do not have one list of the more popular picks. .. Here’s the list of the many items from trips where people borrowed and enjoyed gear that works effectively without costing much money. ... 🏕️ Link in profile 🎒 #hiking #camping #backpacking #budgetgear
Highlights of Arches .... In the high desert town Highlights of Arches .... In the high desert town I call home, we receive over 3 million visitors a year. A large number of visitors for sure. But of those visitors, over 1.8 million go to Arches National Park. With over 2000 arches, red rock delights, and nearly 120 square miles (190 sq km) in size, a lot to see and do. However, most visitors stay on paved roads that add up to ~45 miles (~70 km) of out-and-back driving. And that’s the highlights many people, including friends visiting from out of town, want to see. Between guiding, taking friends for visits, and the hikes Joan and I did in the park, I’ve curated a variation of some “Arches Highlights.” A way to see some of the more well-known places in the park and works for the person who wants to do some light hiking of about ~5 miles (~8km) total and wishes to spend ~4 hrs or so to see the park. I don’t claim this particular tour is the definitive one, the best, or one suited to everyone’s taste. I do know many people I’ve taken on this tour or suggested to like it quite a bit. With all this in mind, I present a suggested way to see the highlights of this national park. You miss my colorful anecdotes, hand motions, and the remnants of my “RhoDyeluhn” accent, but that’s a potential plus! ... 🥾 Link in profile 🥾 .. #hiking #arches #archesnationalpark #moab #utah #nationalpark #nps #moabutah
Twice a year, @ramblinghemlock and I bring the SCA Twice a year, @ramblinghemlock and I bring the SCA (park interns) in her group out for a camping trip. A chance to introduce them to a part of Moab not typically seen. In this case, the La Sal Mountains. .. With 90F temps below, we enjoyed crisp weather, hot drinks, and a touch of the start of autumn up at 10k and more feet. ... #hiking #camping #lasalmountains #moab #utah #moabutah
A quick weekend in the San Juans. The side trail i A quick weekend in the San Juans. The side trail is not one we hiked before and required a little sleuthing to find. ... No signs indicating the trail until we reached the end of the jeep road not found on the usual map layer suspects. .. But well worth finding this trail for access to the early autumn splendor of the San Juans. .. #hiking #backpacking #Colorado #sanjuanmountains
On the way to the San Juans, we noticed dark cloud On the way to the San Juans, we noticed dark clouds overhanging the high peaks. And the NOAA point forecast predicted similar weather throughout the weekend. .. We pulled the truck over, @ramblinghemlock looked over some maps, and we quickly made a plan B to a mesa in the national monument. ... Plan B worked out beautifully with a place to ourselves overlooking a viewscape taking in the La Sals, the Abajos, the San Juans, Monument Valley, Bears Ears, and Sleeping Ute. ... And the area? Lots of mounds, impressions of outlined walls, and sherds abounded. This mesa once held a thriving community. And we had it to ourselves. The map did not even name the mesa. .. An excellent weekend that again indicates that we'll never see all there's to see in this area. ... 📷 5 and 6 co @ramblinghemlock #hiking #camping #colorado
