Hmm, to climb, or to ski when it gets bitter cold? Nuff said. We pretty much had the runs all to ourselves in the inclement weather. Yay! [Fun on 12/12/12]

Mmmm, coffee~ Can't be without it. <br>

I was impressed with the desert floor this time of year being covered in yellow flowers. The recent monsoons have done wonders out there for the vegetation.<br>

Alaska trip- August 2011.<br>
<br>
We had most of the trails we hiked all to ourselves in the rain, or maybe it was the bears that scared other folks away, or ate them? We did encounter loud, unnerving noises of breaking branches, and fresh bear scat in some areas. ; / That's not why I look like I'm about to jump into that icy water though. : )

The Pioneer Saloon, built in 1913, is an awesome place to visit in Southern Nevada [if you don't mind witnessing the occasional, good ol' fashioned knock down drag out bar fight; so I've heard]. It's a casual drive, only 25 miles SW of Vegas. <br>
<br>
The PS houses friendly staff, a really cool bar, a wood burning stove, interesting desert folk, a pool table, and they serve food now; limited menu with items you can cook yourself, if you so choose, on their outdoor grill.(They used to only serve pickled eggs, and dry snacks before).<br>

I love the Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, Nevada! : )<br>

Ca. Condors at the beautiful Vermillion cliffs- there were about 8 or so circling us intermittently as we hiked to the petroglyph panels. It was cool to hear the powerful flapping of their wings above our heads.<br>

I didn't know my boyfriend was watching, and he wasn't too happy with my mud scrambling. He said he took the pics (there's a few)for "documentation" purposes, just in case." It wasn't as bad as it looks in this photo- The mud was fairly solid.<br>

Exploring Marble, and Rider Canyon. The water was freezing cold, so I was trying my best to not slip in, but to make a long story short, I slipped in, and waded through it, which was waist deep. Brrrr. ; / (in my defense, the beta we had for this section said to wade through the water) . My BF had chosen a different way above this pour-off which was sketchier, IMO. <br>

Lava Falls rapid- so terrifyingly beautiful.

Backpacking, and exploring at an undisclosed location on the North Rim of Grand Canyon. I can explore these islands in the sky every weekend. The things you'll discover are unreal.<br>

In 2011- Enjoying our night hike while camping at the Historic Robber's Roost, Utah. We had the area all to ourselves. Such an awesome place to explore!

It was so fun taking two friends canyoneering into Middle Echo Canyon. The three of us had an all girl Zion weekend, and they loved the canyoneering, and did awesome!<br>

A fun time camping and climbing in J-tree with our Vegas crew in October 2011.<br>

Whew, got down from Osiris just in time, as the thunderstorm moved in. It seems we end up in inclement weather every time we've climbed at Lumpy. I'm starting to think that that's the norm in this neck of the woods.

Jen on her very first canyoneering route. She was smiling, and laughing the whole time, even when I had her rap into nasty, ice cold water, and do a beached whale move out of the keeper pothole- what a good sport! <br>

Happy to be watching the Annular Eclipse 2012 from Point Sublime- North Rim, GC. <br>
<br>
We had the area all to ourselves, as we had hoped woohoo!....until the permitting ranger showed up. ; / He turned out to be pretty cool, and we just happened to have a spare viewing glass so he could view the amazing eclipse. <br>
<br>
Funny how things turn out. We ended up camped out with the ranger that night. There's a first time for everything! He shared some interesting stories with us till the wee hours of the night.

Just a few of the many Grizzlies we saw while hiking in Denali NP. No wonder why most folks stay on the busses. ; ) <br>
<br>
The bears were too busy loading up on berries, to pay us any attention. We made sure we kept a healthy distance, just in case we started to look more appetizing than the berries. : )<br>
