DETAILS Directions: Equipment: Hike Info: Peek-a-boo slot canyon is a great day hike if you can find it. It is a good idea to check with the rangers station in the town of Escalante to see what the water level is. In early March there could be some water to negotiate. As with any […]
This is another out and back trail, and a trail I would definitely do again. I always enjoy hiking late in the afternoon and try and time it so that I can watch the sunset. Blackett’s is especially good for this because as you descend back to your car you are facing the sunseting. […]
I really enjoyed this hike. I recommend doing the hike as an out and back. Also, just before sunset is especially nice.. The hike is just over 4 miles total out and back. It has a climb at the beginning then rolls along a ridge with beautiful views of the Tucson Mountains. Careful along […]

This is an interesting area that tends to see less crowds. The temples are smaller and they are sporadically constructed in the forest with really no set pattern. All the temples are in well shaded areas. This is great to get out of the sun. But as I mentioned there is no pattern of […]
Situated between Baphuon and Phimeanakas temples is a large wall that encompasses the Royal Palace area. There is a trail that runs along side the wall. It is worthwhile to take some time to explore this trail and walk along the wall. Many parts are still in good condition and it is a great […]
This was the first hike I did in Olympic National Park. It is a well maintained trail through a temperate rain forest. The many shades of green is amazing. The trail ends after an easy two miles. There is a social trail that drops down to a branch of the Ennis Creek. Not […]
