Saw that in my FB feed earlier today. Was up in Jerome on Monday, forgot that she lived there. Been a rough week for the outdoor/environmental community as Fred Beckey went off belay on Monday. https://www.climbing.com/news/fred-beckey-dies-at-age-94/ Hope these things don't come in threes...

Link to Bosque Bill's write up of our trip last spring. It is definitely an amazing trip and one I would happily do again. However, with all the advice, pictures and everything else that is available on the web these days leave some things unknown to keep the sense of adventure!

Echo other comments that you should be fine. The hike to Upheaval Dome is a pleasant one and the road up to Moses/Zeus is also worth doing. It will add time on the second day but drive out to White Crack and walk to the end. Holman slot was fun but is very short. Get the Guide to the White...

Depressing isn't the word I would use for it but the words I would choose would take things beyond PG in a hurry.

Yes to Cottonwood unless there's been rain. There are some great campsites along the road and some good hikes. I would take pavement down 89A to Lee's Ferry if you want to see that then coming back fill with gas in Jacob Lake and pick up House Rock northbound and then Cottonwood from there as...

House Rock is graded on occasion. There are a couple washes to cross as well. Stateline Campground is a nice spot to spend a night.

House Rock is a pretty easy road and the road from there over Buckskin Mtn to 89A is pretty as well. Cottonwood Canyon Rd is also worth exploring if you have the time. Hole in the Rock Rd outside Escalante is another option. Tuweep would be a possibility, I've been in there with my Tundra a...

Maybe this should go in the Advocacy and Stewardship Forum but there is a website that aims to match photographers and videographers with groups that need shots/footage for projects. Since lots of people here are skilled at this kind of thing and have some outstanding images of the places we...

Thanks for sharing! I really like the Stanley area, never get tired of it.

What time of year? Yellowstone is going to be getting snowed in before much longer, conversely doing the Utah parks in the summer can be really hot. I'd look at Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Canyon North Rim, Zion, Bryce and then back across on 70.but then I have a preference for cactus...

Also on October 20th saw a Hawk (?) on a silver Dodge headed west on Brown between Greenfield and Val Vista here in Mesa. First FWC I've seen in town, didn't notice the plates, looked like maybe an Aluminess rear bumper.

Looks like they charged the 15 YO who started the fire. http://www.khq.com/story/36637957/charges-brought-against-teen-in-columbia-gorge-fire

Thanks all was good to get out and do a bit of exploring. The first shot was taken on the way up, going to guess around 6500' or so.

Being new to Arizona there are lots of places for me to explore. This weekend we decided on a quick trip to the Pinal Mountains south of Globe. It was about 2:00 on Friday afternoon when we got on the road out of Mesa headed toward Globe. Just between Claypool and Globe we turned off at the...

So, after talking to my housemate (female) and a couple of other climbing and wandering friends who are also female they are a bit taken aback by the fact that gender should even be a deciding factor in what sort of route would be recommended. I will admit that that I didn't really think about...

Thanks for the additional info. I'd make a trip down through to Spanish Fork then cut across on 6 and 191 through Utah and northern AZ, pick up Canyon de Chelly, maybe on to Gallup, NM and then drop through and see Carlsbad before heading on to Dallas. Lots to see on the 191 route, great...

Tough call because of how the weather could play into things that time of year. Also, what kind of vehicle and just how much adventure/ what sort of things does she want to do? Where has she been before? Google maps says 28 hours from Biggs Jct (random place I picked in the gorge) to Dallas...

I ordered this one from the good folks at Amazon at the time it was cheaper than what AT was selling them for.

Happy with my AT holder. Someday might add a second to the other side but then have to bungee the door so until I feel like I really need it there's no reason to.

Thanks for sharing! I've stayed at Salt Point, you reminded me that I need to go back and visit that area.

I shoot RAW +JPEG on my Nikons. JPEGs get uploaded to a folder on smugmug.com, there is unlimited storage there so I break the things out by event or date within a backups folder. I then also select the best and/or edited images and move them into a separate subject matter gallery so that...

From Fields you could go up towards Caimbridge, ID and then drop down into Brownlee and Hell's Canyon from there a number of different ways exist to exit out through Oregon but going north on FS roads through Joseph and Enterprise is pretty spectacular, also take you near the Hell's Canyon...

Great write up! Glad the rest of your trip went well. Next time notes when we have the maps out and start talking about roads :-D

Thanks all. I left a very smokey Sandpoint, ID on Tuesday the 5th and spent the first night at a somewhat clearer Clark Canyon Reservoir just south of Dillon Mt. The next day found me up and on the road early and I was able to get through SLC and do a morning conference call at a parking lot...

Not sure what brand mine are as they were purchased used off craigslist but they come off while traveling and go right inside the door. The steps are the last things I pack up and the first things that are unpacked. I use a couple of cloth grocery bags to sort of contain any dirt/mud that...
