Hiked North Kaibab trail
October 10, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
We hiked the North Kaibab trail down to Redstone bridge, 2150 ft below the rim. This is a 5.2 mile round trip that took > 4 hrs.
The mule tours also use this trail, so we had to deal with poop on the trail.
We saw a few runners that were doing the rim to rim to rim, which means they started on the south rim, ran to the north rim, then ran back to the south rim. That is insane.
Other were taking 3 days to hike from North Rim to South Rim.Read more

It was cold and rainy, with some snowfall mixed in. We were told, and could see, that it had snowed the day before.
We went to the Grand Canyon lodge, but couldn't see much due to the fog.
We woke up the next morning freezing, with frost on everything.Read more

Observation Point hike in Zion
October 7, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Due to the crowds and chance of rain, we decided not to do the Angels Landing hike and to do the Observation Point hike. It was a wonderful, strenuous hike; 4 miles to the point and 2400+ ft elevation gain.Read more

Rainy day in Zion
October 6, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
It was raining all day, so we didn't want to do any big hikes like Angels Landing. We took the shuttle to Zion Lodge, a short hike to Lower Emerald Pool (path to Upper Emerald Pool was blocked by a rock slide), then a walk to the view point for the Court of the Patriarchs, which are 3 mountain peaks, and then took a walk along the river back to our campsite.
Hoping we will have better conditions tomorrow.Read more

Hiked the Narrows in Zion Canyon
October 5, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
We water flow and temperature in the Virgin River was acceptable and it was, 57 cfs and 62 degrees. The ranger suggested having boots and a pole for hiking the Narrows, so we rented them. Although they were nice, we probably didn't need the boots, but the pole was optimal.
We took the shuttle to the end of the canyon and walked on the path for a mile until it ended. This is were we started hiking through the river, which we did for 3 hours before turning around and returning.
The was a great, "must do" hike. I'm so happy conditions were right for us to do it.Read more

Salt Lake City and Park City
October 3, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
We discovered the teardrop had a broken battery terminal connector and had to stop at Napa to get a replacement part.
We visited Temple Square around noon time, after having lunch outside the old courthouse.
In the evening we saw a "Thriller" Holloween themed dance show that was really entertaining.
We drove back to the campground in a thunder storm and got wet getting into our trailer tent. The trailer vent was open, so the inside also got a little wet.Read more

Jordanelle State Park, UTAH
October 2, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
This was a travel day to Jordanelle state park in Utah, near Park City. Very windy and thunder storms threatening, so we moved from our reserved site to a more sheltered site. It is off season for all the water sports, so campground is pretty quiet, making it easy to change sites.
Visited Park City in the evening for dinner and walk around. We bought tickets at the Egyptian Theater for the next day, Wednesday, Holloween "Thriller" dance show. Looks like a fun time; updates to follow.Read more

Exploration drive and Newberry Coldara
September 30, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
We were going to hike Green Lake, but rain changed our plans. We did a drive to explore the cascades. We went to Elk Lake lodge and talked with a nice couple that worked there, that were converting a school bus into a camper.
We eventually went to Newbury Coldara national park. I had never been there, but now plan to go back to camp there. We visited Paulina Lake lodge, looked at one of the campgrounds, hiked the Large Obsidian flow, drove to the top of Paulina Peak, and visited Paulina Falls.
That evening, we sat around the campfire with the owners of 2 T@B campers that were in the campground. Surprisingly, the couple that owned one of the T@Bs knew Kevin and Linda.Read more
