I guess it's time to cover this. Bleh. I dug through a shit ton of pictures to find a picture of what I set out on the PCT with so I can go over what I set out with, what I got rid of, and things I've replaced them with up to this point. I …
Author: Jackrabbit
Hey, hello, and hi! My (trail)name is Jackrabbit and I've hiked ~3,000+ miles along the Pacific Crest Trail, a section of the Appalachian Trail, the Oregon Coast Trail, and an unfortunate yet awesome stretch of the Sierra High Route and (somewhat) recently plunged into the world of ultrarunning.
The Pony Express Trail
I think I've become somewhat of a magnet for trails/future adventures. https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3951/33158614480_d067624a02_k.jpg Instead of hiking today I went out for a drive to the western Utah desert, because I've never really been out there before for some reason. What was supposed to be a relatively short drive turned into an all day escapade because not …
Baer Creek to Francis Peak
This last weekend Exo and I attempted to climb up Francis Peak. The weather's been fantastic in Utah recently and I feel like an end is in sight for winter, but also Utah is a dumb jerk and in all likelihood a new ice age will blow in right around spring time and send everyone …
North Canyon Trail
I've been wanting to go out for a hike since I did Avenue Twin Peaks, but the weather has been really crummy lately. The weather was still crummy when Exo and I went out to hike the North Canyon Trail, but the weather reports claimed it would clear up later in the day. Obviously weather …
Utah Mountain Route (pt.2)
Okay so some stuff happened due to the awesome help of the developer of the HikerBot app (an android app that acts as a guide on the major US trails). I was getting a little frustrated with other mobile apps trying to get my route on there, but more importantly having real-time updates on mileage/how …
Utah IDK Route
IDK meaning.. you know.. "I dunno". I've gotten into a new hobby I think where I pick a place and try and make a route through it. It all started when I thought I was going to hike a section of the American Discovery Trail this summer and had to play 'connect the dots' with …
The Oregon Coast Trail
The last two days I turned on some good music, booted up Google Earth and a few different trail resource pages, and started plotting a route from Washington to California along the Oregon coast. Initially I tried very hard to stay along the 'true route' of the trail but found it difficult when the only …
Avenue Twin Peaks
It's been a bit stormy here in Utah, which is good because this state needs the snow. Wind is also nice to push the smog out of the valley; this inversion effect is horrible and I feel like I'm choking on exhaust sometimes. But there was none of that today, and with back-to-back storms over …
2017 Gear Updates
I've settled on just using my gear I already have for the most part, there's no point in buying new stuff when my setup from the PCT is still good to use right? Even so, some stuff did wear down a bit or just break completely. You can view my full gear list here, and …
Malan’s Peak
Talking about hiking is good and stuff, but it's been a while since I've actually been out. It's been even longer since I've done any winter hiking (nearly a year to the day.. nearly). So an after-work hike up Malan's Peak in Ogden, UT seemed appropriate. It's a beautiful trail if you ignore the clouds …
