The canyon country of southern Utah pulled at my heart yet again. I\u2019m sure it will never stop. I\u2019ve been to most of these places before, places I keep going back to because I adore them. This time was different, because my husband came along for the adventure as well so he could also experience the magic that I feel every time I\u2019m there. 70 miles hiked, some familiar friends and some new challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the short version. For many more photos and written words on my adventures, see the LONG VERSION<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
