I try to include my own experiences as well as what kind of hike it is for others. Included are photos I have taken while on the hike to help enhance the visual aspect of the location. The blog has been up since late 2008.</p>

Haven&#8217;t you ever wanted to escape from the mundane life to the pastoral unblemished of the Mountains? Do you ever get the itch to adventure out to some distant peak or explore a canyon you see as you drive down the road? Trust me I have been there. I have a passion for hiking. It doesn&#8217;t matter what you see or what you do, anyone can enjoy the outdoors in one form or another. Whether you are rich or poor, young or old, every single one of us can enjoy what Utah has to offer. Utah Hiking offers hiking year round from the tops of the Uinta Mountains to the depths of Zion&#8217;s Canyon.</p>

Before coming to Taiwan, I never really had much interest in hiking but now it has developed into a bit of an obsession. I&#8217;m not at the moment entirely sure what i plan to do with this blog other than keep track of all the places i visit and perhaps give other people ideas for places to go to.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[children must feel like they are part of the adventure, not being dragged along.  I find one of the ways to do this is the have them help in deciding where to hike, let them help plan it out.  When we actually get in the woods, let one of them lead (or at least appear to be leading by being in the front).  Whether the kids are in the front or the back, it is very important to let the smallest child set the pace.]]></description>
