2016 Death Valley
The long drive was well worth it. The views were great – the hikes were fun and the climbing was amazing (especially at Dante’s View). The trip’s coolest part were the sand dunes. Although the cardboard sleds didn’t work so well, it was still fun. The sunsets were too early and I wish I brought […]

Joshua Tree rock climbing
Our rock climbing camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park began on April 5. This trip was the first long getaway for the new scouts. There were two sites where the rock climbing took place. The scouts enjoyed the rock climbing, belaying, repelling and the more daring did a negative repel. There was a challenge […]
