Winter's Awakening Por Fin (February 2018)

This winter goes down as the second driest the Wasatch Range has known since record. I think the other was in 1977. I was just a young kid so I don't remember. I can say that as it finally kicked into gear a couple weeks ago, leaving the climbing and mountain biking behind was almost difficult. Hibernation I guess is a real thing. The last 10 days of snow have been really great though. Pictures tell a thousand lines so I will let to them speak. Especially cool for me this year is that my middle son has now taken to AT skiing and has now done a couple neat ski tours with me. A heck of a skier, young Carson, 16 seems to feel right at home.

Wind River Annual Back Pack Trip August 2017 and Autumn Climbing 2017

I have been late on posting some of my favorite pics from our annual fathers and sons back pack trip to the Winder River Range.  This past year's the trip in August 2017 consisted of a couple days in Cirque of the Towers and then three days in the great Temple District. This was my oldest son's last trip with us for a couple years while he serves in Mexico on his LDS mission. We have been doing these trips for a decade. As summer 2018 rolls around, we will miss him so much.
