Brisk and sunny morning on the #oregon coast Brisk and sunny morning on the #oregon coast
@ramblinghemlock and I went on a cold-weather camp @ramblinghemlock and I went on a cold-weather camping trip, during which we did some sleuthing via academic journals and found a Chacoan Great House and a road alignment with other structures in the area. Potsherds from points south attested to this area's prominence after the habitation peak. ... Additionally, we saw the usual grand scenery of this unique area we call home. .. It certainly feels like the unofficial start of the cold weather camping season on the Colorado Plateau. .. At 5 p.m., it is dark, and we wear layers of down, drink lots of hot drinks, and read in our cozy tent as the mercury drops, which means it is transitioning to winter and away from fall. .. #hiking #camping #utah
@ramblinghemlock and I took a friend on a loop in @ramblinghemlock and I took a friend on a loop in the canyons, where we saw some places we'd seen before and places new to us. Always a memorable time in canyon country. ... #utah #backpacking #camping #pictographs #petroglyphs
@ramblinghemlock and I spent a weekend volunteerin @ramblinghemlock and I spent a weekend volunteering at an aid station for the Bears Ears Marathon (Blanding to Bluff). A grass-roots race with good community involvement. We worked an aid station sponsored by Utah SHPO. Two of our friends ran the race, including @hollywoulddream It was so great to cheer her on and meet her parents afterward! ... Before the race, we camped on an obscure road with an excellent site with fantastic views. In contrast to previous weekends, the weather seemed better further south than in cold and rainy Moab. We spent a fantastic night at a campground and saw places we had not seen in a while. ... #utah #hiking #camping #running #petrolglyphs
I met @ramblinghemlock up at @fremontindianstatepa I met @ramblinghemlock up at @fremontindianstateparkmuseum for a night of camping. She had a SHPO meeting. Fremont Indian images are second only to Nine Mile Canyon in terms of the overall amount in an area ... #hiking #camping #utah #pictographs #petroglyphs
Three days on the Hayduke through the Needles. I d Three days on the Hayduke through the Needles. I did a variation of this stretch back in 2017 on my across Utah walk. The Rustler Canyon stretch into Needles certainly appears to have more use (social trail, cairns) vs. even seven years ago. ... There was beautiful scenery, gorgeous weather, and even a comet at night. On the way out, we took a jeep ride over Elephant Hill and saw other sights. ... #hiking #backpacking #camping #utah #hayduketrail #pictographs
