Take Away Lessons from my Experience with the Jerold Williams Search

August 10, 2015/4 Comments/in Uncategorized/by Lance Weaver

I’m a bit heartbroken as day five in the search for five year old Jerold Williams comes to a close, his body was recovered just hours ago. I spent a good part of days three and four looking for him, and headed home as storms again moved into the area and made the already slim […]

Utah’s Three Types of Volcanoes

May 26, 2015/1 Comment/in Geologic Hiking Guides/by Lance Weaver

Three Main Types of Volcanoes* The three main types of volcanoes differ in shape, size, and make-up; the differences […]

What Are Keeper Potholes & How They Are Formed

April 16, 2015/0 Comments/in Geologic Hiking Guides/by Lance Weaver

Keeper potholes are found in slot canyons. In the recent decades “slot” canyoneering has become a major sport, and very few areas of the world have nearly the number or diversity of slot canyons as southern Utah. People come from all over the world to descend slot canyons of varying difficulty in places such as Zion National Park, Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, Capitol Reef National Park, the San Rafael Swell, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

CASCADE FALLS, KANE COUNTY, UTAH

April 16, 2015/0 Comments/in Geologic Hiking Guides/by Lance Weaver

Nestled in the northwestern corner of Kane County is a geologically unique feature that receives relatively few visitors. Although most people in Utah have seen caves and waterfalls, it is peculiar for a waterfall to emerge from a cave system. Cascade Falls does just that, as an underground river emerges from a deep cave system and cascades down a steep cliff face.
