PARIA CANYON 40 miles from White House Trailhead to the canyon’s mouth at Lees Ferry. Usually a three-day backpack. The highlight is the confluence and Buckskin Gulch.  

Buckskin Gulch. Rated the #1 slot canyon on the Colorado Plateau. 

COYOTE BUTTES
Possibly the most beautiful place in the world. I have been to the Wave nine times.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
