Macey Lakes
Exploring the valleys and summits of the Sangre de Cristos, this time up to Macey Lakes and Colony Baldy.
Bears Ears and Fish & Owl Canyons
We recently made a trip to Fish and Owl Canyons down in Cedar Mesa. It's a region of Southeastern Utah that’s home to canyons, mountains, forested mesas, impressive sandstone formations and considerable Native American history. (more…)
Salt Creek
At the far southern end of the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park is a valley called Salt Creek. The Salt Creek region is full of ancient ruins and petroglyphs unlike other areas of this National Park.

We stopped at the midway exit to grab our overnight stuff and then retraced our path to Wire Pass. (more…)
