Day Twenty: June 29 A driving day today, technically, as I shifted headquarters from Torrey, Utah to Moab, Utah. I’ll be here in Moab for four nights— my longest stay at a single hotel in this entire trip, because two…
Day Nineteen: June 28 I had an initial plan for three short(ish) hikes today, but I tired myself out with a misadventure at the start and only did two and a fraction. The day was cool and cloudy as I…
Day Eighteen: June 27 An absolutely spectacular drive today, from Bryce Canyon to my new hotel near Capitol Reef National Park— and I might easily have missed it! I got a prompt start to the day, beginning with a last…
