I just spent ten days in Southern Utah and it was wonderful. Hiking, painting and spending time with the family.
I had ordered a soltek easel before I left and it didn't arrive so I had to go through the nice guys at soltek in Salt Lake to re-order and have it shipped to St George Utah. SO the first trip out it was to late in the day and I ended up wiping the slate clean. The second try I bought a backpack to hold ALL my supplies, packed it up and arrived in Zion canyon full of hope, carried that heavier than I thought it would be pack a few feet from the car before I remembered oh ya, didn't put any boards in! So back in the car it went. Then to not waste the day I decided to hike Angels Landing with my daughter and my husband, intending to turn around after a short time. Well I ended up going the whole way, very steep, very high and very scary! About 4 hours round trip. Here is a pic of my daughter at scout lookout, note the tour busses below to see how high this was! It is beautiful in Zion.
The day I finally got to paint was in Snow Canyon. I had everything I needed, well except paper towels! Luckly someone had a small pk of tissues so I did get to paint!
So now I want to try to have a very organized pack with everything I need.
