A lone voice in the wilderness. A GRAND COUNTY ALMANAC. Monday, November 15, 2010. Wild Tomatillos and 5 Faces.

Davis Canyon canyon is a remote section of the Park that has some interesting Pictographs and Ruins that I wanted to get into. Walking the ledge to the 5 Faces. I think ...

A lone voice in the wilderness. A GRAND COUNTY ALMANAC. Thursday, August 19, 2010. Long Walk in the Big Mountains. It was so nice to be away from the news and politics of our world for more than a few days. I am realizing that I often times allow myself to get to wrapped up in the trivial and frivolous political squabbling (are we really still arguing over whether Muslims can build a place of worship near Ground Zero? River also came along and did great, I was pretty proud of him for not complaining.

A lone voice in the wilderness. A GRAND COUNTY ALMANAC. Sunday, April 25, 2010. Saturday Todd and I skiied up into Red Snow Cirque in the Central La Sals and got severely sunburnt and got some great spring skiing in. We got about 10 inches of new snow this week in the high country so instead of corn conditions we actually found great powder conditions. Todd waiting for me and eating lunch in Red Snow Cirque. Perfect spring conditions on the glacial morraine. Tuk in the background. Thursday, April 22, 2010.

A lone voice in the wilderness. A GRAND COUNTY ALMANAC. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Headwaters of the San Juan. Last week we headed east to the San Juans and camped for a few days. It was cold enough that Alina and the boys were wearing their winter coats at night, which is just what we wanted this time of year. We camped up South Mineral Fork near Silverton and hiked around the area on the Rico-Silverton Trail and into Lower Ice Lake Basin. The wildlfowers were unbelievable in variety and color. Hiking th...

Three old dudes (and Abbey) sleeping after a long day. They must be old because I am not that young anymore. I think a...

A lone voice in the wilderness. A GRAND COUNTY ALMANAC. Monday, November 15, 2010. 1st weekend in November.

We took every one up to the Fisher Towers and walked beneath the big towers. The kids climbing around below Ancient Art tower. A couple of climbers are actually on the route above.
