SW Desert Trip and Telluride Blue grass festival

Did a month long Desert trip with my brother leaving May 15th through June 15th. Met up with him and Ryan and Greg in Zion NP. Did some slot canyons there. Did some biking on gooseberry mesa near hurricane and some other trails out of hurricane. Hurt my shoulder quite bad on one ride on slickrock, so I took the next day off from slot canyons and explored zion on foot and hiked up angel's landing. Ran into the Dutch couple that I had trekked with in Borneo! Crazy, what are the odds?
After about a week in Zion we headed towards the glen canyon area and did some slot canyons there. On the way stopped at red canyon (near bryce canyon np) and did some biking. Celebrated my birthday swimming (and bathing) at lake powell. Then drove onto Moab where we did a better job of partying for my birthday. Met up with Drew, Yogg, Christina, and Amanda in Moab and drove to Mexican Hat where we put into the san juan for a 5 day awesome raft and float trip. Some cool side hikes up canyons, to the rim, and swimming holes. Even did some kayaking.

After the float trip, said goodbye to everyone except Yogg and bro. We drove towards escalante where we did a mtn bike ride up on boulder pass and did a bad mtn bike ride in Escalante. In escalante we went into escalante/grand staircase national monument and did a two day overnight, very wet slot canyon called neon that ended in a cool repel into the cathedral and pool. Totally awesome slot canyon. Took a scenic route to get to cedar city where we did a cool mtn bike ride. From there drove on to Zion again where we did some more biking around Hurricane. Blew out the tire in my car in a bad way and they said it couldn't be fixed, so we figured we had to drive to vegas to get the warranty on my tire. Another shop was able to fix it however. We said goodbye to dave, swam in an amazingly beautiful reservoir and watched robin hood in st. george as it was so hot. That evening we did a mtn bike ride in st. george. Since we were excited about vegas we decided to head there anyways. Got into vegas a bit before midnight and partied until 7 am. We toured around vegas the next day and went and got costumes for the next night. Triggers drove out from LA and we partied the night away with him and 4 gals from Iowa. The next day we hit the pool and then went up mtn biking at Red Rock Canyon park. Stayed the night up there in blue diamond and then did a long bike ride that day. Made it back in time for a buffet dinner and hypnotist. Drove through the night to moab, then I said a sad goodbye to bro and I drove on to estes. Picked up some cool hippy hitch hikers in jct and took them to frisco. Stayed with cousin Kendra and Dan in Evergreen where we saw a monstrous black bear.
The next day met up with heather in EP. The following day we took a scenic route to telluride going over trail ridge, following the colorado river through kremmling biking the bike path in the glenwood canyon, taking a hike at the maroon bells in aspen and then hot springing in Redstone area before going over maclure pass to get to montrose to stay with Carleen. The next 4 days were filled with awesome telluride blue grass festival activities. Music, dancing, drinking, etc. A highlight had to be front and center row, 2 feet from josh ritter during his night grass concert in the fly me to the moon saloon. Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeroes, yonder mtn stringband, amelda may, leftover salmon and others were all great fun
