We finally took another trip! Last spring we made it out once but the rest of the year was busy. Audra graduated from the University of Utah, we bought a house, adopted a puppy and even managed to get engaged and get married on the beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii. Hopefully this year we'll be able to get back into the swing of things and get some new trips posted.
This spring's warm-up brought us back to the good old Grand Staircase-Escalante. The plan was to car camp and do some day hiking. Our new dog, Patina, hasn't been backpacking yet so we thought we'd break her in with some day trips. We had a good night on Hole-in-the-Rock road and a good day on Cottonwood with this nice little dayhike down the Cottonwood Narrows. The next day we planned on hitting a another spot or two but had car problems right after getting out of Cottonwood Canyon. At least it didn't happen 20 miles down the road! Enjoy!
