Cold temps and rowdy neighbords meant not much sleep last night but that was okay. I had planned to rise early anyways and take the shuttle to Echo Canyon for a hike back down to the visitor center. Was definitely a nice bonus riding the shuttle so I could watch the scenery go by and … Read more
Light was fading fast after hiking Sugarloaf Mountain so I drove just up to the end of Bonita Canyon Drive where it dead ends at the Massai Point Overlook. Many trails begin (or end) here and it’s quite a large parking lot offering near 360-degree views although not quite as unobstructed. Had a quick dinner … Read more

To start the afternoon I slowed down a bit and just cruised through the park getting a lay of the land & soaking in the amazing scenery. Eventually I booked a campsite and then … Read more

Lots of smaller rapids along the Bad River in this location. Access is very difficult and I am not providing details – … Read more

Remember that smoky fog from yesterday? Well that doesn’t look too … Read more
