  • Negro Bill Canyon Trail, Moab

    Negro Bill Canyon Trail, Moab

    We hiked Negro Bill Canyon in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. The unfortunately named Negro Bill Canyon Trail is a four-mile out and back on BLM land (=dogs are welcome!) just outside Moab. The hike ends at a large natural bridge–the sixth-longest natural rock span in the US. A few rappellers were descending from the bridge…

  • Hiking in Sedona, AZ–Big Trip #1

    Hiking in Sedona, AZ–Big Trip #1

    We visited Sedona in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. The scenery in Sedona is gorgeous, with towering red rocks in every direction you look. The problem with all that beauty so close to a town is that the town is overrun with people shopping, eating, hiking, driving really slowly, causing a dusty racket on…
