Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Moab, Utah - September 7, 2015
Pohai and I hiked to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park during our family trip to Utah and Arizona in September 2015. It was pretty awesome.
Pohai and I did this hike as a day hike. Starting off in Provo, Utah. A three hour drive. We started early in the morning, pushing off from Provo, down Spanish Fork Canyon, through Price and Green River, and finally to Moab. Over 200 miles! What a way to start a hike!
We first headed to the Delicate Arch Lower Viewpoint. We had to hike to the arch once I caught a glimpse of it.

Haleakalā 2015: Day 4 - Holua Cabin to Halema`uma`u Trail
Final day at Haleakalā. Early morning start up the switchbacks of the Halema`uma`u trail. During the night we watched as about a dozen hikers came down Halema`uma`u, at various times, heading off to Kapalaoa or Paliku or to the Holua camp area. Was kinda creepy seeing lights descending Halema`uma`u at midnight and having strangers walking past the cabin in the middle of the night. Of course the hikers that passed by were all very friendly. Still...kinda eerie.

Haleakala Post-Script
During the first week of July 2015 I spent four days and three nights hiking Haleakalā with the LDS Makiki Ward Young Women. It was awesome. (Pics here).
I had a goal of keeping my backpack to 30 pounds for the Haleakalā hike. I originally wanted to keep it to 25 pounds, but that quickly became unrealistic (and I didn't want to spend the money needed to keep the weight that low). I created an inventory of what I was packing listed here: http://lighterpack.com/r/8nisub
