There are lots of ways to Unstring the Bow. I've found sketching to be a good fit for me - but going on a good hard hike with my wife in the mountains is another good one. Combining a hike WITH sketching - well, that's just about perfect!
Is that rock interesting? In Ute Valley there is a ridge that we like to hike on and the rocks up there are truly fascinating. And of course, the view is incredible too.
