The Tempi Po’op Trail runs along the ridge overlooking the Santa Clara River near St. George, Utah. If you start at the Tempi Po’op Trailhead, it’s a good couple miles up to the main petroglyph site. You need to do a little bit of easy rock scrambling/climbing to get below...
Lately I’ve been trying to map out all of the nearby trails that surround St. George; below is my trail map of the western segment of St. George. I’m at the point where I’ve hiked most of the main, marked and named trails and I’m off exploring “new” trails that...
It’s been an incredible couple of weeks! Workshop Director Neile Graham called to let me know I’ve been accepted into Clarion West Writers Workshop, Class of 2016. Stunning, earth-quaking news! When I got the call, Neile asked if I had any questions and I asked the first stupid practical thing...

Red Mountain Trail includes amazing overlooks of Snow Canyon Park. The full trail runs somewhere close to ten miles, but I just did around four miles out and then back. This hike starts out in the pinyon wilderness, then becomes increasingly rocky and sandy. There are several steep ascents,...
I was just out rock scrambling a little, didn’t bother tracking on GPS, but kind of wished I would’ve because I found a neat little trail that will be hard to find again. Took a couple cool pictures with my spherical camera… I especially like this image because if you...
