So…I was hanging out in AZ for a few days before my clients arrived for our annual Grand Canyon trip and decided to do some scouting in an place I’d never been before - Vermillion Cliffs National Monument. Located between Page, AZ and Kanab, UT, this massive wilderness area has some of the most stunning rock formations I’ve ever seen anywhere. I was only able to visit two parts - White Pocket and Paria Plateau. Due to a highly uncommon combination of geologic events, these solid rock landscapes are nothing short of stunning! The pictures say it better than I can. And you don’t have to be in ultra shape to enjoy them. This place is like a playground where you can easily walk right up to and even to the top of your favorite formations. The difficult part is getting there. It’s so remote, it takes about 90 minutes of sand road four wheel driving before you arrive. I was fortunate to find a skillful and knowledgeable guide out of Kanab by the name of Ben Davis with Tours to take me there.
All I can say is…TOTALLY WORTH IT!
(And then otw back to Flagstaff, I drove right past Horseshoe Bend and had to pull over to see it again and snap a pic.)
Enjoy!

P.S. Grand Canyon pics coming soon!!

Yes, it’s unimaginably distressing, but true. Tonight is the last Tuesday Night Trails for 2024. The good news is that you have ONE MORE CHANCE to run and walk with strangers of dubious aroma and enjoy the splendor (and cooler temperatures) of the natural beauty that’s right in our own backyard. AND as an extra bonus there will be an after party on the porch of Overtime Grill&Bar where we’ll be giving away AMAZING PRIZES from , Ponte Therapeutic Massage, Birmingam Ultra Trail Society, , , Trak Shak, Ponte Guided Adventures, and many more!!!
We’ll even have a free gear swap so bring any lightly used hiking/running/camping gear that you haven’t used since mix tapes were a thing and leave it for someone who might be able to use it. You just might find something for yourself.
Just show up at 5:45pm for a 6pm start to walk or run and then meet us at Overtime at 7pm ish after. Your soul will thank you.
All are welcome!

If you’ve noticed a heightened level of tension in the air, it’s not your imagination. What you’re feeling is actually due to the collective angst that occurs this time every year when all people everywhere become painfully aware that Tuesday Night Trails is coming to its seasonal end. That’s right, we only have two opportunities left to walk and run in the woods with sweaty strangers before we revert to spending our Tuesday nights sobbing uncontrollably as we pine for spring.
As distressing as this may be, there IS a sliver lining. Next week on September 16th - after the run - we’ll have our annual year end party at Overtime Grill & Bar. This is always a well attended extravaganza of food, fun and some pretty cool door prizes. So mark your calendars and be sure to come by tonight at 5:45pm for a little practice with and me. We run or walk from 6pm-7pm and then head to Overtime for food and drink. Think of it as a training run for the big night.

You may be thinking it’s Monday, but…in reality, it’s Tuesday. And that means it’s time for Tuesday Night Trails !
For real, don’t go home after work today. Instead, donn some comfortable footwear and head over to the Frankfurt Drive entrance of RMP for a 5:45pm meetup with and me. At 6pm we’ll start walking or running. An hour later, you’ll feel like a stronger, lighter, more odiferous version of yourself - nothing confusing about that!
All are welcome.

The sport of ‘Urban Pole Jumping’ has existed ever since random poles were invented. As a spectator sport, it reached its peak in the mid 20th century before suffering an abrupt (and sadly, permanent) decline.
Shown here is one of the greats, ‘Leaping Larry’ Parker. Though considered by many to be the greatest of all time, he’s also credited with the sport’s downfall as well as the complete disbanding of the NPJA.
Mere moments after this picture was taken, Larry attempted to give the crowd just a little more of what they came to see by attempting one of the most difficult maneuvers ever known, (referred to by insiders as the ‘Triple Lindy of Urban Pole Jumping.’)
Due to the unfortunate timing (and sloppy cleanup) of a pop-up ball bearing sidewalk sale earlier in the day, Lenny lost his footing and well… Let’s just say that sadly, his anatomy was never the same.
Probably a safer idea to impress those around you by walking and running at Tuesday Night Trails . The weather will be AMAZING tonight! Just join and me at 5:45pm for a 6pm start. Best of all you won’t go down in history as someone who brought down an entire sport in a single bound.
All are welcome!

If you wanted to steam clean your motorcycle in the 1920s, the options were severely limited. Thankfully, we now live in a time where you have LOTS of options for pretty much everything. Like Tuesday Night Trails . You have a total of SIX different groups to run or walk with. And best of all, you won’t have to worry about burning your britches along the way.
Meetup at 5:45pm; running and walking starts at 6pm. All are welcome!

This just in…Not everything you see on the internet is real. For instance, due to the laws of physics, it’s not actually possible to float through the air using an umbrella. (Though, to be fair, Mary Poppins did make it look both possible and stylish.)
Good news is, you don’t need to emulate any of your Tik-Tok famous mentors in order to feel the thrill and exhilaration of living because tonight is Tuesday Night Trails . Just join and me at 5:45pm and by 6pm you’ll be wondering why you were ever so impressed by that internet thing to start with; all without the unfortunate (and inevitable) side effects of umbrella jumping.

We’ve all been there. You’re out enjoying a nice relaxing summer afternoon picnic with your significant other and then it happens… The aura changes suddenly. You can feel a certain tension in the air. And then your worst fears are realized - a nefarious biker gang from the next neighborhood shows up looking to wreak havoc on your otherwise tranquil outing. (I get a chill just thinking about it.)

Who needs that kind of tension when you could be spending your summer running and walking with mostly wholesome people at Tuesday Night Trails ? That’s right, at TNT you can hang out with folks of all ages who’s only agenda is to sweat with strangers in a friendly, nonthreatening environment. You don’t even have to get a membership tattoo (though they are offered.)

So join and me tonight! Meetup at 5:45pm; start walking and running at 6pm. All are welcome!

A lot people (like two) have said to me, “Steve, I’d LOVE to go on a Ponte Guided Adventure, but I just don’t know what to wear.” Not to worry. Here’s a pic from one of our previous adventures to Big Bend National Park from way back in the 2010s. You’ll notice that these clients have really struck the balance between being ready for meandering mountains AND the rigorous runway by donning breathable fabrics and footwear that’s both functional and fashionable.

And if YOU have new adventure wear that needs a test run, I have great news! The most exclusive trail fashion venue on the planet is just waiting for you to make your entrance tonight at Tuesday Night Trails . Yes, walking and running right here with the common folk is a great way to display your fashion savvy in a safe, relatively non-judgey environment so you can make your final ensemble tweaks before your Ponte Guided Adventure. Cause like most people who go on one of those trips, your pics will likely get picked up by Outdoor Magazine and next thing you know, all the celebrity goss mags are referring to you as the new ‘Kate Moss of the Mountains.’
