I find the Great Salt Lake a fascinating place The scenery and uniqueness of the lake are interesting, but the history and stories of the people who have tried to live and make a life there I find even more fascinating Fremont Island is one of those places on the lake that is steeped in history I had wanted to visit for several years, but visiting requires quite an effort At about 18 miles round-trip from Antelope Island and across the sandbar just to REACH the island, this is an outing for experienced outdoors peo...

Shiquan, that’s a bit of a teaser How long was your buddy wedged and stuck Did anybody stay with him while the three of you went for help Who helped and what did they do to unstick him I’d say that from the time you left your buddy, worked your way down however much was left of the slot, hiked back to your car and drove to cell service, waited for a SAR team - which doesn't don’t hang around together waiting for a rescue - and then worked your way back to your buddy would be at LEAST 10 hours The Park Service folks...

I come from 7 years experience in the US Army Infantry and my father brother and I recently decided to hike from Woodenshoe Trailhead to Sundance Trailhead If you are planning to do something similar know the mileage listed in the forestry service map and this description are wrong The overall mileage listed was 28 miles from end to end, the 13 miles from the intersection of Woodenshoe and Sundance trail listed on the forestry service map ended up being 28 miles Dark Canyon is very windy and the overall mileage end...

Feel free to email me at ryan@roadtripryancom for these types of support questions since they are not related to Peekaboo Assuming android, you need to make sure high accuracy GPS is enabled in the phone and you say yes when prompted to allow the app to use your location If the phone is set to power save, it uses cell towers for gps which doesn't work when out of service If high accuracy is set, it uses true gps and will show your location when out of service range

Like most of the other peaks in the Silver Island mountains, Campbell Peak is a steep hike to a very seldom visited summit The peak has many routes to the summit The east side is much more rugged and requires more route finding The west side, and the approach described here, is less rugged but still has some steep and loose sections and requires a bit of route finding Though this description is just for Campbell, once on the ridgeline, also visiting Jenkins is a good option to extend the day Because of the loosenes...

Pandora's holds a special place in my heart It was one of the first canyons I explored without beta The first time we checked it out, we found no signs of passage, and fixed the first several drops Impressed by what we found, but out of rope and time, we retreated to come back and finish it another day Since then I have done the whole canyon several times, and just the upper section another 3 or 4 times It never fails to impress The canyon was done without the use of bolts Pandora's has a unique character The canyo...

If you are looking for a remote section of the Needles District to visit, Davis Canyon is a good choice The canyon is situated on the eastern boundary of the park, requiring a high-clearance four-wheel drive to visit On our visit, no one had signed into the register in a month, and we saw no recent signs of visitation The canyon itself is home to the Five Faces Panel, a stunning pictograph panel It also has several ruins and granaries to visit, including Log Ruin, a unique ruin that has a large structure built out ...

Peruvian Gulch is said to have been named by an early miner that saw a likeness to South America’s Andes in the gulch The area is now part of Snowbird Ski resort and has been developed heavily developed to support skiing in the winter In the summers, the trail is most often used by hikers who take the tram up to Hidden Peak and hike back to the base about 4 miles If you are looking for a good workout, hiking from the base to the top of Hidden Peak or Mount Baldy is a good one without about 3,000’ feet of elevation ...

Secret Lake sees most of the hiking traffic in Albion Basin, but the Devils Castle Hiking Loop is a nice alternative The loop sees quite a bit less traffic than Secret Lake though it has equally amazing wildflowers and views It is a treat to get so close to the base of the forbidding limestone Devils Castle The distance, and general ease of hiking making this loop very well suited to families or others looking for something short to-do If you are staying at the Albion Basin campground or are in the area, this is an...

Mount Irish is one of the rock art areas that Lincoln County and the BLM both publish information on Tucked up near the 8,743 ft high Mt Irish, the site is among boulder outcroppings and washes It is a large site If you are interested in rock art, it is easy to spend a day or even more wandering around looking for rock art in the boulders On my visit, I felt like I had just scratched the surface, yet still saw many fantastic glyphs and panels Pay attention to the road directions For a BLM promoted site, the route t...
