The Pony Loop
Eight years ago I packed up my Corgi, threw her in the car, and we went for a little drive in a chaotic and unspecific westerly direction. I'd seen a lot of Utah having grown up here, but the west desert was kind of an unknown to me, and I found its quiet and dry …
The 2025 Season, Day 1
Audio Version of this Article Day 1, What's Going on in 2025 | RSS.com Salutations! It's been a spicy minute. For a variety of reasons stemming from the pandemic, I was far away from my life and the things I love doing for what felt like an eternity. That's a post I've tried typing out …
A Day on the Highline, High Uintas
Day-long trips to the mountains have their place in my heart, but overnighting in the middle of the backcountry is where the love is. Another short day of work lead to enough time for two nights in the wilderness, and I knew precisely where I’d spend them. The High Uintas is littered with remote backcountry …
Christmas Meadows
There’s a mountain range that’s as a particularly strong draw on me. It’s an ancient range with crumbling peaks standing guard over an immense expanse of forest. The final stretch of snow has been lifted off the road into a very small corner of these incredible mountains, and after a very brief shift at work: …

In lands west of the city, west of the alpine and north of all that people associate Utah with lies an unassuming desertscape. Littered with mountains and large expanses of land, dotted with the history of Western expansion. This is where you go to get away from everything, it’s where you go for quiet, it’s …
A tribute to Washington
I've really chilled out on how I edit videos recently in favor of a more quiet kinda dealeo. The excitement of all this long hiking stuff changed a bit for me, and I found myself enjoying hearing the wind or birds or just crunchy footsteps a bit more compared to a musical montage. But I …
The Road Ahead
I apologize for always using sappy ambiguous headlines, I don't know what to title my stuff half of the time (see: my recent Youtube video titles such as "Evocative Video Title" and "Some Mountains and Stuff"). I've been thinking a lot about what life is going to be like without a long hike to embark …
Another “So You Want to go Out on a Long Hike” Guide/FAQ
I remember how overwhelming my first hike felt. You're worried about getting to a town with no resupply options, you're worried you've planned each stretch out wrong, you're worried about conditions on trail hundreds of miles and months away from your computer desk with your haphazard notes with town names circled and lines connecting to …

Ending an Era (for now?)
Well this site is about as neglected as my normal life has been the last three years. In short I'm gonna be active here again as opposed to other avenues largely because it's more enjoyable, and partly because stuff like Instagram isn't exactly my favorite cause I'm just not a huge fan of social media. …
