Hike the Narrows of Zion N.P.
Worth doing!
One of my greatest hikes ever — 1 year ago
Trekking poles make all the difference.
Comments:
I think the coldest I’ve ever been was on the Panhandle. On the other hand, living there would cut hours off my drives to Colorado and New Mexico.
I’ve messed around with some slot canyons here and there, but nothing that required repelling.
We got dusted with snow and we had a little ice, but really it was quite light. We were at the bottom edge of all that weather.
So you’re a writer? I’m so envious. I would love it if someone paid me to write. What sort of stuff do you write? Well, books obviously…

What do I write?
I am an essayist. Think Merrill Gilfillan, Verlyn Klinkenbord, E.B. White, or even Edward Abbey. But, of course, I am not in their league. They are just my writing heroes.
My first book is a collection of essays about intimacy with the land. My second book is about journeys and hiking and bravery. Its been a decade since I got a paycheck for writing anything, and my writing has evolved (THANK GOODNESS) since I wrote for magazine publications.
But, someday… maybe in the next 12 months, I will hold my first book in my hands… that will be payment enough. The book is at an academic press and they are notoriously slow… think molasses in Alaska.
