Stories from the Edge with Flash Flood Chaser and Author Craig Childs

July 11, 2020 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Craig Childs lives with his family off-grid in Western Colorado. He can see Utah from his house and he has explored Utah’s wilderness extensively, so we figured he qualified as a Utah Story. When I first picked up the book “The Secret Knowledge of Water.” I was captivated by his personal adventure in understanding the Great Basin desert and remoteness at a more profound … [Read more...]

Drive Down the Stairs: Grand Staircase-Escalante by Foot, Raft and Drive-In Movie

August 28, 2018 by Maria Milligan Leave a Comment

Utah’s national parks, known as “The Mighty 5,” are internationally-recognized destinations for hikers, climbers, campers, and roadtrippers. Until recent political attention highlighted their existence, our national monuments received less notice. If seeing all the tweets and headlines about Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument made you realize you had no idea what it … [Read more...]

How a Utah Man is Making a Living by Building Out Sprinter Vans In 2017, Brad Woolf leapt into the entrepreneurial world by starting a woodworking business that would become Woolf Vans.

VanLife

August 22, 2018 by Darby Doyle Leave a Comment

“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.” ― Jack Kerouac, On the Road Making that vanlife work in real life It seems pretty idyllic, right? Chucking the responsibilities of the rat race and taking a year (or more) off to unplug. Drive the open roads, camp under the stars and connect with new places and people. But the reality is a little more … [Read more...]

Vast and Isolated Antelope Island: Camping with Citronella Under the Stars

Bikepacking: Two “Mature” Cyclists Bikepack Bears Ears

August 15, 2018 by Ryan Trimble Leave a Comment

The body wilts before the spirit does, so it didn’t occur to two 41-year-old men that they might not be able to pedal 155 miles in three days through southeastern Utah on bikes loaded with the essentials: water, food, bedroll … tobacco, coffee, beer. The plan was simple. Pedal from Nizhoni Campground to Elk Ridge, down between Bears Ears, across Cedar Mesa, through … [Read more...]

Skydiving Moab: Find Space and Views

June 19, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Here on earth, space is at a premium. City dwellers feel crowded, which is why we come to places like Moab, where the scenic vistas are vast. But even in Moab, traffic gets congested. In seeking more space, what could possibly be less claustrophobic than skydiving? But even the word “skydive” has connotations that have prevented me from considering it in the past, because … [Read more...]

Road Trip Adventure: Diary of a Wanderer

April 19, 2018 by Tom Bennett Leave a Comment

I’ve driven the highways of 43 states, sang in endless dive bars, and slept in more WalMart parking lots than I care to remember. I left Utah in 2013, in a van with a bunch of blues musicians, and we worked our way, playing shows all the way to the Georgia coast and back. I haven’t left the road since. I was singing at the Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City, when Richard Markosian, … [Read more...]
