Towering canyon walls stand on either side of you. Wading upstream, you travel through a river in ankle to waist deep waters. A walking stick in one hand keeps you steady, while a snug dry suit keep you warm from the icy water at your...
Utah has quickly become one of our favorite states in the U.S. We’ve visited four times in the last couple of years, and each visit leaves us wanting more. The landscapes are diverse and the opportunities for outdoor adventures are outstanding. Our most recent visit...
The higher we climbed the more nervous I got. I held the chain as I peered over the edge and thought to myself, “What in the world did we get ourselves into?!” Our path was narrow and rocky, the drop offs on both sides were more...
We managed to get out to Utah two different times this winter, and unfortunately, the weather wasn't very wintery either time! The lack of snow didn't hold us back too much though--we went snowmobiling, dog sledding, hiking, skiing, tubing, on a sleigh ride, down a...

Flying backwards down the hill, I caught some air as I unexpectedly soared over a bump in the run. I couldn’t stop laughing and squealing the entire ride down. We’ve been sledding and snow tubing many times throughout our childhood, but I never realized just how...
Another winter activity that I have neglected since I was young was snowmobiling. It has always been an adventure I enjoyed, but for some reason it stayed off my to do list until we made our way to Utah this winter. Snowmobiling through the mountains of...
