41st Anniversary in Telluride

 Thanks to an enticing promotion, we enjoyed our anniversary at the Hotel Columbia at Telluride.  A most welcome break from the summer heat!

Two New Summer Galleries

A July morning hike to Cecret Lake in Albian Basin yielded a refreshing crop of photos that took advantage of the amazing wildflowers as well as the beautiful reflections at the lake.  Reference:

In mid-June Matt, Christy, and the kids paid us a fun visit that included Silver's birthday.

Busy Spring & Summer

In early May, we joined Tom and JoAnn for a tour of Bryce and Zion from a comfortable base in St. George.  It was a fun get together featuring great scenery and excellent company.



In June, Rob enjoyed a refreshing hike to 10,000 foot Twin Lakes Pass above Brighton.  It felt good to be back on the trail...

In early July, Rob & LuJean enjoyed a short get- away in the Tetons that featured a Fourth of July parade and ice cream social at the Jackson Lake Lodge.

Later in July, Rob enjoyed a beautiful hike to Cardiff Pass above Alta.

Spring returns- and a look back at Kaibito and Robbers Roost

Welcome news!   The snow is receding and the water levels are rising along the Wasatch. 



We recently added two new galleries to:

Outings>Backpack Trips>

Both were amazing 1975 adventures--a June trip into Kaibito Wash near Page, Arizona, and a Memorial Day weekend trip into Robbers Roost Canyon.

Fun times indeed!

The annual Auto Show is a welcome break from the cold.  See our new gallery under Friends and Family - Rob & LuJean.

A good movie is also most welcome!
