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.
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…
Pockets of Fall in the Desert
The desert generally always looks the same. Sometimes it is slightly more green, sometimes it is a little more brown, and sometimes there is a little snow. But mostly, it just is. The only thing that really changes is the temperature. In the summer it is scorching hot and in the winter it is bitter…
First Snow in Fall
In the first days of October this year, me and my husband went up to the mountains for a little hike to see the fall colors. I think we were a little early though. Despite being early, we also managed to catch a snowstorm, which was unexpected fun. I don’t know what it is…
Bunkers in Spring
One of my favorite things is abandoned old structures. All over the island of Kodiak, Alaska are remnants of World War II. Most of the concrete structures are showing their age, but still pretty solid. The one in the picture above is a massive structure built into the hillside. I wanted to look inside…
Termination Point
Here are a few photos of Termination Point in Kodiak, Alaska. It is a beautiful hike through mossy forest, assuming you can find the trail. The first time we attempted this hike, we ended up on a game trail that left us a little way off with just a good view of the point. The second…
Sunset in the Desert Silhouette
These photos were taken on the hike back from photographing Corona Arch at sunset. The same photos featured in last weeks post. I was initially going to post them together but the look and feel was too different. Night hiking can be pretty fun and an excellent way to beat the heat in summer. It…
Cornona, Please!
Sunset at Corona Arch in Moab, Utah. I have a tendency to complain about where I live. I was born and raised in Moab so I take it for granted. It really is a beautiful place assuming you can claw your way through the crowds to see it. It used to be better. Fewer people, less…
