2008 Death Valley
My good friend Dave and I flew down to Las Vegas, drove across Death Valley, hiked up Mount Whitney, and then spent some time in Death Valley on the way back. We camped at Mohogany Flats for several nights. I've never seen so many stars!!! I also got a chance to hike up telescope peak while we were there.
2002 Robbers Roost, Utah
My friend Gary and I spent a week hiking in the canyon country of south east Utah.
We desended down into canyons, hiked along rivers, climbed out of canyons... hiked overland, rappeled into slot canyons and followed the bottom, climbed out again and hiked overland. Then we finished it off with some mountain biking in Moab. It was an amazing trip, that I have been thinking about ever since.
