10 Best (and worst) Day Hikes in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
10 Best (and worst) Day Hikes in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
I think I can safely say that Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is one of my favorite parks ever.  There’s such a diversity of scenery (i.e., of different kinds of rock formations, badlands, etc.) and most parts aren’t extremely well-visited, so…

The Grand Prismatic Spring Overlook & Fairy Falls!
The Grand Prismatic Spring Overlook & Fairy Falls!
A year or two ago, I read on the Yellowstone National Park Facebook page that the park had just created a new trail – one that looked down on the Grand Prismatic Spring.  I’d heard that many people scrambled up…

9 Best Day Hikes in Olympic National Park
9 Best Day Hikes in Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park is definitely unique – sea stacks and tide pools give way to temperate rain forests, which melt into alpine valleys and steep-sided mountains.  This is perfect environment for seaside strolls, forest hikes, waterfalls, and high-alpine hiking in…
12 Hiking Hairstyles that are Pretty & Practical
12 Hiking Hairstyles that are Pretty & Practical
This is a guest post from one of my hiking companions.  She’s young, slightly dramatic, and loves pretty things, even in the middle of the wilderness.  You can find her top hiking destinations here.   If you have long hair,…
Cape Perpetua: Where the Volcanos Met the Ocean
Cape Perpetua: Where the Volcanos Met the Ocean
If you’re going to visit just one beach in Oregon, I highly recommend it be Cape Perpetua.  Why?  Well, it’s already overrun, so one more visitor (or ten more visitors) won’t make much difference.  Second, you get bragging rights to…
God, the Good Father
God, the Good Father
I like to think of God as a good Father giving His children good gifts (see Luke 11:13).  It’s only one part of His nature, but it’s a very Biblical one.  Paul said, “Because you are sons, God has sent…
The Wonders of Chesler Park

The Wonders of Chesler Park

A few weeks ago, I posted about the Elephant Canyon Trail in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park.  It’s such a great hike with fantastic scenery.  But for even better scenery – and to experience the Needles close up…

Faith is Action

Faith is Action

I was reading a book this week that talked about faith.  The book said that there are two words for faith in the Bible – Pistis (Greek) and Aman (Hebrew).  While they’re related, the two words don’t mean exactly the…

Santanoni Peak: My First 46er!

Santanoni Peak: My First 46er!

Last fall I climbed my first 46er in the Adirondacks!  It was super challenging on a crazy trail – in fact, it’s more scramble than trail in many places – but the views were great and the forest was peaceful…

The Heart Behind Truth

The Heart Behind Truth

Most people in the world today are looking for “truth” – or at least their own version of truth.  They want to know what is real and what is fake.  They want to see that truth lived out in their…

Willow Canyon (Dry)Falls

Willow Canyon (Dry)Falls

I wouldn’t call Willow Canyon the most spectacular hike in Death Valley.  It’s nice, and in many places, it would be awesome and amazing.  But Death Valley has so much to offer – even from the same parking area –…

And the Morning Stars Sang!

And the Morning Stars Sang!

Sometimes people wonder why I post songs about the wilderness.  Isn’t it enough to just combine Jesus and the wilderness?  Why add some music to it, too? The simple answer is that music has a way of getting into our…

Bible Verses for Rock Climbers

Bible Verses for Rock Climbers

Needles Views on the Elephant Canyon Trail

Needles Views on the Elephant Canyon Trail

Big Love of God

Big Love of God

There are two kinds of love – “big love” and “small love.”  People say, “I love you.”  They mean it, usually.  But how much do they love you?  Is it a casual love – like an acquaintance who appreciates what…
