Whiskey Turns One
This lovable goof is officially one year old today. It has been a bumpy road here and there with run ins with barbed wire fences, slippery slick rock and an incident with a bat, but Whiskey has been the perfect addition to our family. The cats still can’t stand him and frequently go out…
Globemallow
Globemallows are some of my favorite flowers. They grow wild all over the place around Moab.
Cottonwoods
Pretty self-explanatory. I love the cottonwoods around here, even if they all seem like they’re dying off. When I was a kid, the cottonwoods were so plentiful that every spring it looked like a snow storm in 90 degree weather when they all dropped their cottony seeds in the space of a week. …
Beaver Pond
Kane Creek is a nice area for outdoorsy activities. There is hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, and OHV trails. On this day we were doing a bit of hiking off the beaten path. We didn’t get very far though before running into this beaver pond which we couldn’t easily pass. We hung out for…
Cattails & Crooked Planks
At some point, I imagine someone used this little pond as their own personal pool. There is a dock to fish from and across the water, even a makeshift low diving board. It looks thoroughly abandoned at this point and in a bit of disrepair, but I can imagine hot summer days spent swimming…
Fisher Towers Hike
I love Fisher Towers. It always makes me think I’m on an alien world. The rocks and dirt is super red, and the rock formations are very peculiar shaped. This time of the year, it’s even more dramatic because the plants are the bright green of spring and wild flowers are blooming everywhere. It’…
Fisher Tower Hike Preview
Last week we went hiking at Fisher Towers. It was a beautiful hike and surprisingly not too hot, at least not yet. I took a ton of photos but I haven’t hat the time to go through them yet. Keep an eye out for them next week.
Spring Flowers
Spring flowers are starting to emerge! The above flowers are some my husband picked for me from our hopeful future property. They smell absolutely amazing. In my own yard are these little flowers I found growing randomly in the yard. I have no idea what they are, but I was able to…
Signs of Spring
Moab is funny. You can tell it’s spring, not just by the budding plants, but by the arrival of excessive numbers of off-road vehicles and the large truck/trailer combos that haul them in, packs of road-hogging cyclists, and marathon runners. Cue the road rage. I don’t usually participate as a spectator in Easter Jeep…
Abandoned Mines
A couple of weeks ago me and my husband explored a mining area. Since the old road is invisible from the main road, we hadn’t ever thought to hike in this area before. We saw it from high up across the valley as a road, figured there were mines up there and decided to…
