We traveled to Nepal in October 2016 to hike to the Annapurna Base Camp in the Himalayas. Annapurna I (24,273') is the 10th highest mountain peak in the world. The base camp is only at 13,550' and is a gorgeous trek. This blog tracks our preparations for the trip and shares some thoughts on the adventure. Enjoy your travels.

Long Canyon
We explored a new canyon in Moab this chilly weekend up Long Canyon. Long Canyon has been used many times by Hollywood-types to get into the back of redrock country for movie shoots. The cliff walls and scenic overlooks did not fail to impress. It was a long hike with plenty of elevation gain. We only made it to the second set of S-turns.
