Our first visit to Moore’s Wall bouldering area!

Part 1 of our trip to Glacier National Park

A summer filled with family and birthdays

Cody and I embarked on our first un-guided backpacking trip to Catalina Island in mid-April.

Day 4 (continued): Arriving to Bryce Canyon

The magic lies in the 1,500 foot tall ½ mile stretch of rock rising out of the middle of Zion Canyon that makes up the middle section of the hike.

I have been wanting to go to Utah for a while…

Although we had this trip planned for months, it was 4pm, before we started packing.

We returned from our four day/ three night backpacking trip yesterday. Today my body feels stiff and the world outside of the woods feels like a haze.

The next day, we went on Moores Knob loop trail. Along the way, we looked at the boulders and wondered if we would be able to climb them and how they would be graded.

It was a rough week before the trip to PA. I sprained my ankle in the front yard while taking out the garbage and then got a flat tire on my way to work on Friday.

Old Rag is such a fun (type 2) and interesting hike. There are so many other hikes in Shenandoah that I’d like to explore. With these short trips, it’s hard to make time to do others.

A short trip mid-week to Shortoff Mountain and South Mountain state park.

I lived in NH for 3 years, from 2009-2012, and I never realized how much beauty surrounded me.
