This is the Hurrah Pass viewpoint. If you squint really hard and zoom in, you can see the Colorado river and the potash plant on the far side.

Mt. Robert’s Trail in Juneau
Here are some more photos from my husband’s Juneau, Alaska trip in February. These were taken on the Mt. Robert’s Trail on Douglas Island, which is just across the water from mainland Juneau. It looks like a pretty nice steep climb to the top. I love how squiggly some the trees grew….
Abandoned
Here are some more photos of Juneau, Alaska taken by my husband on his recent trip. One good thing about winter in Alaska is that it is easy to get good light for photos. I believe these photos were taken from a random beach on Douglas Island. But don’t quote me on…
Driftwoods
Driftwood on a beach in Juneau, Alaska. These are some photos from a recent trip my husband took so I can’t say which beach. I’m super jealous he got to go. Next time I swear I’m going too, which is what I said last time I missed out on a trip. He took my…
Sometimes an Island
Sometimes Island: named such because sometimes it’s an island and sometimes, when the tide is out, it’s not. It’s located on the remote island of Kodiak, Alaska. Several years ago, my husband and I decided to explore it one afternoon when it wasn’t an island. Although, we did have to rush a bit on…
Dinosaur Stomping Ground
The Dinosaur Stomping Ground Trail north of Moab is a nice hike and the destination is really interesting. It’s a huge area of sand stone crisscrossed everywhere with dinosaur footprints. I think most of the tracks were about the size as the one in the photo but there were a few that were larger…
Hidden Valley Trail
Hidden Valley is a hike I’ve hiked countless times. So many times, that I usually don’t take my camera anymore. These photos are from two hikes I took last winter. I just loved the look of the dead tree next to the trail and the mountains framed by the valley. It has…
In Line
This was taken somewhere in the Gemini Bridges vicinity outside Moab. It’s a nice little view of some yucca plants all lined up in front of the La Sal mountains and the Behind the Rocks area.
Poison Spider Dinosaur Track Trail
I always just thought of this trail as the Poison Spider Dinosaur Track Trail because it starts at the Dinosaur Tracks in the Poison Spider Jeep Trail parking lot. It’s actually called the Longbow Trail, named for Longbow Arch at the end. The dinosaur tracks are really nice ones, but I didn’t get any…
The Wastelands
As the title would suggest, this post is about what I like to refer to as the wastelands. While there are some really beautiful and unique areas in and around Moab, the vast majority of the area is wastelands. Nothing really grows there or lives there, water is scarce, and the beauty is… subjective….
Sledding in Moab
Moab isn’t really a great sledding area, but we try. We got around 8 inches of snow before Christmas so we made the most of it before it melted. The pup Whiskey was thrilled with the snow once he realized it wasn’t going to kill him. I practically had to toss him out the…
Rim Sunset
Happy New Year! It finally looks like winter. Yay! We got around 8 inches of snow a few days before Christmas and enjoyed every minute of it. This photo is of the sunset on Christmas from the Rim Trail courtesy my husband. He had to take the puppy, Whiskey, out for some exercise and…
