    Wow! a campfire. Here in my Southern California mountains we just don't get to do that because of the fire danger. That was such a pleasant video. Your videos have become quite important to me. You see, I just retired yesterday (June 13) at age sixty-two after thirty-two years of teaching high school. I've been backpacking since I was eleven, hiking National Parks and Forests throughout the Western States; climbing peaks and doing long hikes up to twenty-five days. But now I'm just always searching for the pleasant one, two or three night backpacks away from the popular spots in the National Parks. Your videos have revealed these gems to me. I'm writing these down for future journeys. My favorite places now are Arizona and most of Southern Utah. So thank you for these gifts. As a hobbyist landscape and nature photographer, I know how much work you do to create these videos. We all appreciate your effort. Looking forward to your next post.

    Catherine, your Utah, in fact your U.S., hiking experience is not complete without a nice 8-10 day trip in the High Uinta Wilderness. Make sure you take enough time to take a trip from one trailhead to another, the loop trails don't cover enough of the terrain and a weekend trip is too short to see it properly. Make sure you take in the Painter Basin, then climb King's Peak, or the reverse if you are traveling from west to east. The Painter Basin has incredible colors, those typical of the deserts of Utah and in sedimentary rock, but with a high alpine environment. It is also the only east-west major mountain range in the country, which is very fascinated. Everything you expect to see is off 90 degrees. I hiked it back in the 1980's and it was one of the highlight trips of my life.

One of the best days I've spent in a while - I saw three other people all day, just about half an hour from the south end of the trail. Escalante is magical - hope I can make it back!
