After leaving Grand Teton NP I headed for the Wind River Mountains. I decided
to only do a day hike because I was eager to reach a Hostel and get a shower,
and also wanted to stay ahead of the weather. But the Winds appear to be a
terrific range. Awesome expanses of granite and pine, beautiful mountains, and
fewer people than in the Grand Teton / Yellowstone area. Contains 18 pictures.

Luke, Jo, and I spent our last full day together exploring Arches National Park. The
weather was good, even a bit hot, and we managed to see a lot of the best sites in the
park. But it is definitely a place I would love to go back to for some more extensive
day hiking and exploring. Lots and lots of cool rock formations. Contains 36 pictures.

Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park, Denver Colorado, Nebraska,
Iowa, and finally Illinois to visit with Colin and Steph. Contains 37 pictures.

A few more pictures from Colin and Steph's, a visit with Thommy in at Purdue, a random
tank, and a sunset on Lake Erie. Cheesehaven. Contains 27 pictures.

I decided to visit the Cuyahoga Valley, a small forested area between Cleveland and
Akron, because my Lonely Planet guidebook indicated there was a hostel there. It proved
to be a very worthwhile stop, the hostel was a beautiful old farmhouse and the area felt
surprising rural for it's close proximity to cities and freeways. In the morning I
found a great hike to a waterfall that started right from the front door of the hostel.
I explored a little more in the Cuyahoga Valley before heading on to Pittsburgh, where I
spent a few days exploring the town that will be my home in the near future. Contains 46 pictures.
