Right down the [dirt] road where I am camped is a new mountain biking system. The KlonZo Mountain Biking Trails are ideal for beginner to intermediate mountain bikers (a category which I happen to fall into). Conor and I spent a few hours on the trails, riding the perimeter trail...
It was not on the agenda, but a long day of driving and a well placed off-ramp got me to pull into Fremont Indian State Park in Utah. I dropped into the Visitor’s Center to ask about camping (yes, $15 for off-season full hookups) where I also watched the 15-minute...
On the final day of my time at Lake Mead I visited the Redstone Dune Picnic area, which also has a short trail. The red sandstone rock formations were the star of the show, of course. T’was a short hike, but it tired Moose out enough to warrant a nap.
On our way into the Phoenix area (from Globe) Moose and I stopped for a quick hike on the Arizona Trail in the Tonto National Forest where we hiked out a mile or two before turning back. This area of the trail reminded me a lot of the Mountain Park...
South West of Silver City on highway 90 is another segment of the Gila National Forest. The highway crosses the Continental Divide Trail, complete with a nice area to pull off and hike a bit or camp. While there are no established camping areas, it is easy enough to spot...

Moose and I went on our first Colorado hike together, at Rabbit Mountain right down the street. It is a small trail with no major scenery, but there is a nice area of prairie-dogs that I thought he might enjoy. Not many were out and about, but Moose could tell...
Established in 1929, this predominately old growth coast redwoods park is bisected by the last major free flowing river in California, the Smith River. Almost all of the park land is water shed for the Smith River and Mill Creek, a major tributary – parks.ca.gov When I stopped at a...
Moose and I went for our first hike together. Not wanting to kill the little guy, I started small with a 1 mile trail to Dead Lake in the Tolowa Dunes State Park just up the road. One part forest and another part sand dunes, this side of the state...
Silver Falls State Park is a state park in the Oregon about 20 miles east-southeast of Salem. It is the largest state park in Oregon with an area of more than 9,000 acres, and it includes more than 24 miles of hiking trails. Its 9-mile ‘Trail of Ten Falls’ runs along...
