I went on a cool little hike with a co-worker this weekend. A photo gallery is up on flickr.
I’ve actually gotten quite a bit of hiking in this summer. Several long –very long– day hikes and a backpack trip or two.
This particular hike was mostly a scramble down Pine canyon in the Santa Catalinas. We started off heading down the Palisades trail and then dropped into Pine canyon. Lots of cascades, falls, and pools of precious water made the hike extra special. After a slight detour we connected with the East Fork trail and made our way past Sycamore Reservoir and on out to Prison Camp (officially named Gordon Hirabayashi Recreation Site).
Another great adventure here in the southwest.

Our vacation for this year was a short but fabulous trip up to Zion National Park with some friends from AJ’s work (Charles and Allison). It was yet another new and awesome experience in the out-of-doors. This trip included two exciting days at two very different canyons.

Jenny and I recently took a trip to Flagstaff where we hiked to the highest point in all of Arizona. Mt. Humphreys tops out at 12,633 feet and on a clear day provides views all the way to the Grand Canyon and beyond. It was a beautiful day and though we weren’t setting any speed records for the 9 mile hike, my lungs and heart told me I need not go any faster.
This was the highest elavation hike we had ever done. Someday we’d love to hike Mt. Whitney or Longs Peak. Someday. For now we’re happy exploring the peaks and canyons here in our own great state. California and Colorado will wait.
