In May 2025, I plan to set out on a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail as the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s first artist-in-residence. I’ll be blogging about my progress, and in preparation, I’m recapping some of the trips I’ve taken in the past. Thanks for your interest, and stay tuned!
Zion NP, July 2021
After spending a solid week in California, we packed up our campsite and drove several hours across Nevada and into Southern Utah. Alex’s sister, Callie, was working as a park ranger at Zion National Park, so we planned to spend another week visiting with her and exploring the area. This turned out to be a really generous amount of time, and it allowed us to visit some more remote areas of the park. Here are a few of our hikes from the week:
Angels Landing via West Rim Trail (5.9 Miles)
Observation Point via East Mesa Trail (7.3 Miles)
Northgate Peaks via Kolob Terrace (5.2 Miles)
West Rim Trail, Top-Down (16.4 Miles)
