Day 3 of May 2022 Virginia Trip, Grayson Highlands
The third day of my 2022 Memorial Day weekend trip. I would be doing a long day hike in Virginia’s Grayson Highlands State Park and the nearby Jefferson National Forest, featuring Mount Rogers as Virginia’s highest elevation point, some fun on the rocks along Wilburn Ridge, and a combination of forests and open meadows which were not a common sight in Virginia. Unfortunately, just like the previous two days, I still had to battle with annoying mud for portions of the hike.

Day 1 of May 2022 Virginia Trip, Hiking Tinker Cliffs
During the Memorial Day weekend last year, I hiked McAfee Knob and Dragon’s Tooth trails near Roanoke, Virginia, which I really enjoyed. So this year, I felt it’s only appropriate for me to finish the remainder of Virginia’s Triple Crown, Tinker Cliffs. While the views were spectacular, rain and muddy trails made it a rather disappointing trip.

Day 6 of 2020 Utah Trip, from Moab to Torrey
Sixth day of my Utah trip. In the morning, I would be visiting Corona and Bowtie Arch, which were two arches in the Moab area that weren’t part of any established parks. Then I would use the rest of the day to make the road trip to Torrey, the gateway town to Capitol Reef National Park, paying a visit to Goblin Valley State Park along the way.
