Sunday Surfing - Trail Guides

The internet is an amazing place for research...most take it for granted, but it really wasn't that long ago that you had to get in the car and drive to a library, map shop or forest service to get information on trails. Now with a few strokes we have all the info we need at our fingertips. It's already hot out this morning and I'm thinking hiking around water or at least thinking about water would be nice. Here is just a little of the cruising I did this morning in search of things to see and places to be:

Sunday Surfing - Antelope Canyon

With all the fires raging throughout our State camping and hiking resources are getting a bit limited. I thought for today's Sunday Surfing I would offer an other worldly place that is on my list of explorations and, if you haven't yet been, for you, too. Antelope Canyon is near Page, by the Southern shore of Lake Powell. I'm hoping to entice my favorite hiking partner into a long camping weekend later this summer up here so we can explore this amazing canyon. In the meantime, enjoy this video featuring Jason Ward's beautiful music.

They're Here!

So Check This! A few weeks ago I was contacted by Columbia Sportswear to participate in their Spring Field Test...a pair of shoes would be on their way to me....well, they're here! This is Columbia's Master of Faster Low Omni-Tech. They're on my feet as we speak getting broken in and I'll tell you more about them as I see how they ride. Cool Beans....new shoes, free to me, and I get to write about them, too.
