Hiking thorugh Bryce Canyon in late March was a fun-filled adventure. 
There was more snow there than we had expected, which made the hiking very difficult. The hoodoos are really something to see, but the other parts of the canyon are unremarkable.
We did have some Waug with us on this hike, as you can see we munched on this great tasting bread on the rim. One of the great uses of this bread; to help re-energize during a hike.

Last month my son and I spent a week trekking through Zion National Park. The weather was perfect for hiking. While we didn’t get into any intense free climbing or backcountry sojurns, we did hike Angel’s Landing and Observation Point. The latter of which is an eight mile hike taking about 5 hours.
At a park like Zion you expect to see lots of hikers, which we did. But what was amazing was the size of the packs most of the day hikers were carrying. Sure, some of them might have been carrying large parks to train for more extensive trips, but for the most part, people were carrying a lot of stuff for what appeared to be no good reason.
When we got up to Observation Point, we sat with several groups of hikers who had these large packs. It became apparent that they brought a lot of food snacks with them to munch at the summit before the long climb down. Lots of snacks with nothing of substantial value in them; potato chips, apples, water, etc.
We brought a half loaf of Waugoshance Delight and two bottles of water. That was it. If you want to travel light, but also make sure you have enough food to fuel your trip, try Waugoshance Delight Energy Bread. Here’s the view from Observation Point.

I’ve received a few emails and calls regarding the name for this amazing energy bread. Yes, it’s a little difficult to sound out on first glance. Let me help with this.
Waugoshance is pronounced like this;
- Waug: Say ‘waug’ like you’d say ‘dog’
- O: Say ‘uh’
- Shance: Say ’shawnce’
When were out on an expedition, we ususally refer to Waugoshance as Waug. As in “pass the waug”.
So there you have it.
If anyone has heard a different pronunciaton, I’m all ears.

The story about how the idea of an energy bread came to life began a long time ago;
During one of our February winter camping trips to Waugoshance Point we spotted an old lighthouse out on the North of the islands. It was a particularly cold winter that year and most of the snow was cleared off the ice by the intense winds coming off Lake Michigan and the Straits of Mackinac. This made traveling on the ice really easy, so we decided to hike out over the ice to the lighthouse.
It was an interesting hike over spots of black ice and huge pressure ridges of ice sheets piled up like moraines. We arrived at the lighthouse and had to climb up about 30 feet of accumulated ice in order to get up into the lighthouse itself. The lighthouse and the tower was a mysterious sight. There was a huge piece of steel shell hanging off the tip of the tower, looking like it would break off at any minute.
We walked around the inside of the main level of the lighthouse, climbing over piles of fallen bricks. The exterior of the main level was still covered by steel plating. There were a couple of huge dents in the steel siding. We sat on the edge of the first floor looking out to the Northwest over the frozen Straits of Machinaw. We had brought along a half-loaf of Waugoshance Delight, our special camping bread. It was the perfect time to cut off a few slices and enjoy it in the Waugoshance Lighthouse. We spent about an hour in the lighthouse and hiked back to our camp.
This photograph depicts the condition of the lighthouse at the time of our visit in 1983.
