NEW CANYON TO PETEY BISHOP'S


Hikers: Amy, Kim, Juta, HopE, and Mike
RT Distance: 4.5 miles
Elevation Gain: 1000 ft.

Kim's Notes: The last time we did this hike (from the bottom of New Canyon to Petey Bishop's turn off) was April 20, 2010. It was great to be back at it again and add to our elevation gain! We now have a new summit mark and are increasing our ability! PLUS, Amy gets the award for wearing a 10+ pack! Go Amy!

HIKING WITH QUINOA

Hikers: Kim Amy Mike Hope Juta
Notes: The Internet tells me quinoa is the perfect grain. I agree, especially when you use it as ballast. One bag of coscto organic quinoa is four pounds and it moulds perfectly to the shape of a pack. Two bags are just right.

BEYOND THE DIVERSION

Hikers: Kim Amy Juta Hope Mike
Notes: Lately we've been going beyond our usual turn around spot. Speeds are increasing, time is stretching, and now we climb the big hill beyond the diversion dam.

EARLY MORNING FASHION

Hikers: Kim Amy Hope Juta Mike
Notes: Life is busy and we are behind in our blogging. Lots of hiking in January and February. Kim always looks pretty fashionable in the mornings. Me, I usually look and feel like I just crawled out of a collapsed building.

HAPPY DOG DAY

A hike up New Canyon approx 6000 feet. It's the middle of February in Utah and not a flake of snow to be found.

NEW CANYON

This hike was a little bit like where's Waldo, but not really. Instead, where's MikE?

MUDDY TRACKS CANYON

Hikers: The Usual Gang
Notes: Melting snow, a happy Kim. This is the spot just above EZ Peezey. It's always the indicator of moisture in the area.
