Southeastern Utah

April 6, 2008

Buck CanyonOne of the most beautiful and treasured places that I have ever had the privilege of exploring are the canyons of southeastern Utah - canyon country. In March and April of 2007, I partook of a 28-day backpacking expedition with eight fellow NOLS students and two instructors. It ended up being one of the most enjoyable and challenging periods of my life. I will always hold a special place in my heart for southeast Utah.
