Yeah not bad. Looking at an RV camping trip somewhere over UEA weekend in October too.
I bought a trailer in May to get the family out more and it has worked so far. We will use it about 8 times in 6 months.

Great idea @whansen! It's fun to see what others have done. Plus, it's a way to add hikes and ideas to my ever-growing "to-do list"
Here's my list (so far...):
Hiking:

Warner Valley Dinosaur Tracks
"Little Narrows"
Adams Canyon 4x (and two more left for the summer; more for exercise rather than the destination)

Grand Tetons: Taggart and Bradley Lake
Farmington Creek

Canyoneering:
Zion - Subway 2x (with another trip coming w/my brother in 3 weeks)
Zion - Keyhole
Zion - Pinecreek
Arches NP - Lomatium Canyon
Arches - "Bramble Scramble" (not worth it) "canyon" (not technical after all)
Arches - "Much Better" Canyon (maybe "worth it"...but for young kids)
Arches - Not Tierdrop
Moab - Pleiades Canyon
Zion - Kolob Canyon
Wasatch Front - Willard Canyon
Adams Canyon Waterfall
Swell - Eardley Canyon

Tubing the Weber River (always a good time)
Tubing the Provo River
Mountain-Biking:
Kaysville BST
Ogden BST
Moab - "Full Enchilada" (in October)
Bryce - Thunder Mountain
Park City single-track (it's the best to buy a $12 lift ticket and down you go...never up )
PS - It will be interesting to see what @Scott P or @Rob L have done. They are our world-travelling superstars.●Canyoneering 'Canyon Conditions' @ www.candition.com
●Hiking Treks (my younger brother's website): hiking guides @ www.thetrekplanner.com

It's pretty much been a typical year for us. Here's what we've done so far this year:
http://www.summitpost.org/2015-trip-log/927123
Thus far this year, we've gone hiking or climbing on 97 days, climbed 64 mountains (attempted 67), and 9 technical canyons (a little behind).
Thus far, trips were in Guatemala, El Salvador, Saint Lucia, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California. Later this week, we're headed for Idaho.
Here are some random photos of some of our trips:
Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

I had some fun times (and some miserable times) filming with my drone this summer
Wheeler Canyon
Wild Horse Window
Little Wild Horse Canyon
Goblin Valley State Park
And the kids had fun too
I usually start my "Summer" season when I can get my first mountain bike ride in, and this summer sucked. It started way too late, it was such a wet spring that I had to delay my riding until the trails dried out. I didn't do as much biking or boating for some reason, but I was always busy doing something.
I took my wife Mountain Biking for the first time up in North Fork
I got to ride the new BST section in North Ogden, it's a decent trail.
I took my boy riding in Riverdale
Mueller Park
Flew out to Wendover to see the Slaughter / Vixen concert
Photobombed a few ladies
Had a little chat with Mark Slaughter
Ogden Bonneville Shoreline Trail a few times
Subway Canyon
Orderville and the Narrows
Biked some crowded trails
But made up for it on other rides
Rode the Skyline trail from Pineview
Took my wife up to Park City
Took the family up to Island Park, and Yellowstone
Went boating at Mantua
and Pineview
Went up to Bear Lake a couple times
and just got back from Lava Hot Springs

We actually used to go on more cool vacation trips when we had young kids. Now that we are empty-nesters, we don't get away nearly enough, partly due to my wife's waning interest in doing outdoorsy stuff.
May- Hiking and doing trail work up American Fork Canyon more times than I can count.
Lot's and lot's of road biking.
June- Hiking and mtn. biking up American Fork Canyon more times than I can count.
Mtn. biking Park City several times.
2 night getaway with the wife to Park City.
July- Mtn. biking up AF Canyon more times than I can count.
Week long getaway to Island Park, Idaho. Rented a cabin on Bills Island. Did all the local stuff as well as a day trip into Yellowstone.
August- Mtn. biking up AF Canyon more times than I can count.
Hiked to the top of Timp.
Kristin Chenoweth concert in Park City, 2 night getaway.
Weeklong trip to Phoenix to visit my new granddaughter.
Grand Canyon south rim afternoon visit on the way home from Phoenix. It's been awhile since I've been there and my wife and daughter-in-law hadn't ever been.
My cycling stats since February: 1,900 miles with 190,000' of climbing.
Daughter-in-law and daughter at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon:
Are we there yet?
