Southwest Beta: Best of St. George, Las Vegas and the greater Southwest

04/12/2018

Just wanted to let everyone know I have started a project I am extremely proud of. In 2019 I will be climbing 52 mountains in 52 weeks in order to raise money and awareness for su***de prevention, a subject that is near and dear to my heart. It's called Climb to the Light, and it's really gaining some momentum. Please join me on this journey. I look forward to hearing from you!

Good morning.

Somehow, it seems, coffee tastes especially good while camping. Loving the hikes, scenery and wildlife in Bryce Canyon.

Good morning.

This leg of the adventure has been incredible. Beautiful scenery and wildlife have been abundant. Will definitely be returning to explore more.

Amber is loving Bryce Canyon.

Hiking and camping in the cooler weather makes for a spectacular adventure.

The more I travel around, the more I seek and appreciate these moments.

There is a peace and solitude found in the silence of nature that allows the connection of thoughts to the soul. .

Just a man with a van.

Time to see some sights, experience some places and hike some trails.

Just a man with a van.

Wow!
There is way more room than appears. Whittling down the possessions and hitting the road.

Watch for the special feature column, coming soon!

Lost Peak is an overlooked gem in the wild eastern backcountry of Zion National Park. With only a modest amount of elevation gain in just a handful of miles, this is a peak that can be climbed quickly, yet rewards hikers with uncommon views of the slickrock paradise of Zion’s less-trammeled side.
