Joan and I had to do some more adulting recently, but we still managed to carve out two days for hiking near our Moab home while we had some friends in town.

We took our usual walks along ancient paths and saw what we saw.




We moved through terrain that still looks stark this time of year.


Spring is starting to show itself, though, with bits of color pushing through the desert.

It’s been an interesting year so far—a lot of change, odd weather, and some uncertainty.
But the land endures. And so do we, along with our partnership and our love for this place.
