Big Tony was out here last week and between terrible rounds of golf and outstanding beer pong victories, my dad also wanted to go hiking. We went up 1,000 feet along Mormon trail at South Mountain and through the hidden valley and Fat Man’s pass. It was a lot of fun!
MB and I went hiking in Apache-Sitegreaves National Forest over Labor day weekend. It was an awesome trip. You can check out my picture dump for the weekend, or take a look at the annotated trip over at Trimble Outdoors.

Last weekend MB and I joined up with a guy named Sam from the Arizona Wilderness Coalition. He was a very cool guy whose job is to drive around areas that are designated as “Roadless Area” and inventory them so people know whats going on. What a rad job.
So we volunteered to help him out. Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs) are areas in which no more roads can be built. Existing roads, if they are in use, can stay, but who determines if they are still in use? Sam. And us last weekend.
Who knew Arizona could be this green? Elevation was around 4500 feet and the scenery was beautiful. This camera phone picture doesn’t come close to how great it was:
I brought along a GPS phone, so you can check out the trip over at Trimble Outdoors
MB and I went out last weekend to the Grand canyon. I brought my cell phone along and you can see the trip and pictures at the Trimble Outdoors website. We didn’t go as far as we wanted but it was still a great trip!
