There’s nothing quite like the thrill of a successful hunt, especially when it involves deer hunting in the beautiful state of Utah. Once again, one of our kids got a tag for Utah’s Mule Deer Season. This article follows us on our successful hunting adventure, as well as the time we spent fishing and exploring the stunning landscapes that Utah has to offer. Join us as we recount the joys and challenges of our trip, and the wonders we discovered along the way.

13 Places to Visit While Road Tripping Through Southern Utah
May 2022 For this three day weekend we decided to head to one of our most favorite places to visit, Utah, to explore some of their back country roads. We had no plans except to start near Zion National Park. Below you will find our video and all our stops along the way with some…
Floating away in the Eastern Sierra Nevada 2017
The days are starting to heat up and we have that itch to get into the backcountry of the Western Sierra Nevada’s. Even though the snow has not melted at the lakes we want to get hiking to, it has melted enough to get to the lower levels. So far we have gotten to explore Convict Lake, the June Lake Loop, Tioga Lake, Twin Lakes, and Walker River. All the Lakes are full and the streams that were once slow moving are now raging rivers, the rivers are overflowing their banks and are flooding the valleys. Roads are getting washed out and trickling waterfalls have now taken over mountain sides. It is a sight like no other. The record snow fall is now the record snow melt.
The drive for us is about 5 hours to get Bishop. Some people can’t believe we would drive 5 hours for a weekend trip, but 5 hours isn’t that long when you can lose yourself for 2 days surrounded by the beauty of this area.
Since the back country has been under a little more snow than we like we have decided to hold off on our hiking trips until later into the season. Our last two trips have been exploring different parts of the area that are accessible via paved and dirt roads. We camped on the backside of Grant Lake in the June Lake loop and fished the lakes in the surrounding area. Please enjoy the pictures from our last two trips.
Emerald Pools ~ Utah ~ Day 1
Day 1 of our 2 day trip to Utah seemed to be a little bit of a fail for us. We got a late start which put us in the middle of the mass of people. It made the beauty of Zion not so beautiful as we fought for prime viewing spots with the hundreds of the people that were fighting for the same view. We are not used to planning our trips and going into Zion or any popular national park for that matter takes planning. You can’t just wing it if you want the most of your experience. You don’t have full access to the land like we are used too; there are shuttles, road closures, so many rules and masses of people trying to do the same thing you are.
