12 Glory Laps in 12 Hours

12 Glory Laps in 12 Hours
Last February 20th, I hiked and skied 12 laps on Mt. Glory. 19,638 feet climbed with skis on my back and 19,638 feet skied to raise money for Camp To Belong. It's snowing again and I'm ready for the 2nd edition! Click the logo for more info and ways to support camp!

After the Aftermath - Bryce Canyon

Dusk falls over the valley of hoodoos just below Sunset Point
Two days after running across the Grand Canyon, we drove north just a bit to Bryce Canyon. With active recovery in mind and two hours of daylight remaining, we decided to slowly but steadily walk, jog, hobble, limp, and waddle our way around two popular loops below Sunset Point. Last year, two days after our Grand Canyon double-crossing, this would have not been possible with our painfully crippling sore muscles. Last year, it took about three days for our calf muscles to recover enough to even be able to walk without a noticeable limp. Compared to last year, we were Olympians!

Wall Street

Trees have not only survived, but thrived while living deep within the narrow and dark confines of these slots.
A view up at the "walls" of Wall Street and the tall and hardy inhabitants that live there.

Wall of hoodoos. Whodoo? Idoo? Youdoo?

It's amazing what nature can build.

How do you do, hoodoos?
