Not to be left out, Everett wanted to go camping with Dad as well. I obliged by taking the opportunity to take him up nearby Provo Canyon for a relatively quick night of camping at Nunn's Park right next to Bridal Veil Falls.

South Draw Loop
After a night out with Raylee, it was now time for to trade her out for Lennox. For this little adventure, we'd do a bit of off-road driving with the South Draw Road through Capitol Reef, making a loop of it, followed by a night of camping just outside of the town of Torrey. My father-in-law rode along for the drive part.Jun 19, 2018
A Night at Sand Creek
One week after annual outings with Willow and Ellory, respectively, it was now time for Raylee. For this trip we returned to Torrey where we dropped off my son Lennox to have a night with my in-laws while I took Raylee for a night of camping up nearby Sand Creek.Jun 12, 2018
A Pleasant Overnighter Down Pleasant Creek
Willow meets Willow Gulch
Paying a visit to Willow Gulch has been on my radar for a number of years, but given the drive and distance to it, it was something I've continually put off. It was also something I've wanted to take my daughter Willow to, given the shared name. This June, things finally worked out to make it happen. Willow Gulch would provide the destination for our annual father-daughter outing. It would also be Willow's first time backpacking in the desert.Jun 5, 2018
Backpacking Pleasant Creek to Sheets Gulch
My planned route for this ended up being altered recently. I had originally planned to start at the same spot and then find my way out to Oak Creek for the finish, but this past spring, I had studied out the map more and grew more curious about Sheets Gulch. After doing some research on it, I found it to be a much more appealing way to finish this hike. So..to exit via Sheets Gulch it was. But even that turned out to be more difficult than it needed to be.
