A draw led to a pool, two feet deep and perfectly still. I looked beyond but wouldn't wade. Though I'll never know what the canyon held further up, it's alright. Clear, warm, and silent—the water was enough. I didn't need more. #Enough #Reflections #DesertHiking #Nature #Utah #DesertSolitude

Sandals conundrum: For an upcoming multi-day trip I have to choose between taking Xero Z-trek sandals (480g/pair) or Kimberfeel Milos sandals (270g/pair).

The Milos sandals are lighter, but the Z-trek sandals are thinner, so they take up less space in a backpack.

Usage will be (1) for overnight camp and (2) rocky river crossings.

What opinions do you folks have?

Sidenote: Typically sleeping on soft sand and there are scorpions around.

The numbered trail marker of an interpretive trail. This one happens to have two sets, humanoids like the one in the bottom right and bighorn sheep. If you look closely near the bottom of the rock on the left, you can see some sheep much like the other marker.

Stunning day for a hike to Chaparrosa Peak in Pioneertown Mountains Preserve.

I can’t believe I’ve never done this trail before — the views are dramatic, with volcanic mesas, enormous boulders, and pine-topped ridgelines in the distance. Everything I want in a hike.
