My Wilderness

Hiking in the high Uintas this July:



 Mountain lakes.

Backpacking in a downpour.


Watching the sparks fly up in ribbons from a massive fire built on rock.

Not sleeping the first night because there might be bears.
And the ground is just so hard.

Falling asleep the second night the instant we hit the therma-rests because we are just so tired.

Freeze-dried food

Zero time wasted on face and hair.

A mountain silence bigger than space.

A million flowers.

A billion mosquitoes.

Lying on our backs on a rock slab watching layers of cloud barely overhead.

Sunset silhouettes.

Life stripped down to the simple.


We have our peace to carry back home.

Time to get back to work.

  2. Fun adventures! I am glad you all got to go. The whole family back together! Thanks for having the boys over a bunch before we moved. It was really helpful and they loved it. Wish we had hung out more though :-) We might come in October though and for sure over Christmas!

  5. What a beautiful place to visit. Sometimes I just need to get outside and remember life before I can start living again.
