Last week I attempted to climb up Francis Peak again. Exo and I attempted it during the winter but setbacks such as actual frozen feet and cornices at the top thwarted our summit. Since the snow has appeared to have all but melted, I gave it another shot last weekend. This isn't exactly what …
Sometimes I like to just ramble a bit about things. Ice Age Trail I'm officially getting really excited to hike the Ice Age Trail. I found a good resource for looking at photos of it and it's more beautiful than I had anticipated initially. If this is what it looks like before things start coming …
So a hike did end up happening over my weekend, albeit a short little jaunt up to Doughnut Falls with a coworker. The trail was pretty flat the whole way up until the very end where it shot straight up to get to the top of the falls, where we found nothing but disappointment. Doughnut …
A day late and a dollar short, my bad. I started a job where I do a lot of job things. It's a lot of physical activity which is my favorite kind of job, but man did it wear me out the first little while. So I kinda fell asleep yesterday forgetting to upload the …
This one was fun. When I got back on trail a heatwave was starting to roll through the area, leading all the way up to Kennedy Meadows basically. I got one final send off (IE "Fuck you") from the desert before making my way to the Sierra through this video and the next, and while …
This isn't hiking related. I read a thing and I want to talk about that thing. As a preface: I hate that I'm in a situation where I feel that I need to talk about this, and I also am not the kind of person who falls into doomsday prophecies. I also gain exactly 0% …
After my debacle in Zion, Goblin Valley was exactly what I needed. Situated out in the middle of nowhere on some road no one cares about near Lake Powell is a modest State Park called Goblin Valley. Even when I lived in Utah I had no clue this place was even a thing and just …
In the last post I made I said I'd made up my mind about hiking a section of the American Discovery Trail. That was a huge lie. I've since had a chat with some like-minded folks who just came back from hiking a trail called the "Kungsleden" in Sweden. I was deep into my ADT …
Well, my PCT trek is over. It's taken me almost a month to come to terms with that in some shape or form, to wade through all the feelings that stem from that little fact. For almost 5 months, I lived outside. I woke up in my tent every morning, packed it up, walked, ate, …
Ayyyyy everyone! I'm off trail briefly and with family before I flip SOBO. Sitting around and not hiking all day every day is so weird. It's fine on a zero day, but to be back home in a familiar environment is a little different. Regardless I've had a blast seeing everyone again. I'm not happy …
