Hmm, I am not the search manager on this, but the CalTOPO search grid for Trammell Evans (Joshua Tree National Park) misses most of the places where people would get turn around (ie, in the rocks... not on the flats). #SAR #SearchAndRescue #TrammellEvans #JoshuaTreeNationalPark #JoshuaTree #hiking #hiker

These two have the right idea.

At this point, this heron wasn’t scared 🤔

If I scare a Great blue heron, it will scare fish away, which is what this one did 😅
I made a mistake 😭

40 years ago today: Although the hiking was rather easy from that point on, the woods continued to be very buggy. The heat and humidity of the day were slow to abate as the afternoon wore on. The Appalachian Trail followed the ridge with no major climbs or descents to Vanderventer Shelter. It was 5:00 when I arrived.

Ridley Creek, PA
A couple of huge trout were hiding behind the log 😀
I couldn’t catch them, but this is a decent spot I never realized until yesterday although I have been fishing this creek many many years 🤔
It’s possible that this is a new spot created after a relatively recent heavy rain 🤔

40 years ago today: The Appalachian Trail after the US 321 crossing was very easy walking, but weird as hell: cutting through the hearts of two combination beach/picnic areas along the shore of a large, man-made body of water named Watauga Lake. Hundreds of happy people were playing and relaxing in the sun with friends and loved ones.

Why do hikers always have a great sense of humor? Because they find every trail hill-arious! 😄⛰️ #pun #joke #hiking #outdoorfun

The Stockhorn (2'190m / 7'185ft) in Bernese Oberland, here shown in the middle of the picture seen from the Niederhorn, is not very high, but stands out nevertheless because of it's sharp shape. The south-side is pretty gentle, but the north-side drops straight down.
It is a very loved mountain for easy hiking tours with kids, as there is a cable-car with two sections, two lakes (one very accessible) and the elevation from the middle station to the top is only about 500 meters.
The Strüssligrat, as an alternative route to the top for those who want some challenge, is a nice ridge with a super panorama. A favorite.

Das älteste Kulturdenkmal der Gemeinde Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde ist der Johannisborn-Brunnen. Gestern nach anstrengendem Aufstieg zum Gut Sassenscheid am Wegesrand entdeckt. Das Quellwasser wurde lange Zeit als Taufwasser für die Johanniskirche in Wiblingwerde verwendet. #Wandern #Hiking #NachrodtWiblingwerde #Sauerland #NRW - https://www.nachrodt-wiblingwerde.de/Tourismus/Ausflugsziele-und-Aktivitaeten/in-Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde/Johannisborn.htm?

Sore legs today. But it reminds me of every great moment. Views, challenges, difficult passages, calming down, finding my inner peace...

Unusually eventful crepuscular hike this evening
A deer grazing on a hillside right next to a turkey just chillin’
A family of deer with two fawns with their little white spots 😍
A coyote (video below). Then another. They started fighting as I was walking away. I saw the larger one with a dead animal in its mouth trotting back to the wooded area.
A loud bang, crash, then splash about 20 yards ahead as a giant tree branch fell into the creek

all kitted out for hiking on a glacier.

Ray Jardin's The Pacific Crest Trail Hiker's Handbook changed a lot of the language and ideas around how we talk about and think about backpacking gear. Even ~30 years later, I'm still surprised that some of the dorkiest terms he coined are in common usage now.
I discovered the second edition of the book the year after I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail. Had I gotten a hold of the first edition before I hiked, I would have hiked much differently with lighter homemade gear
Is #snakesunday a thing? Saw this Western Rattlesnake on the trail today. Barely over a foot long. #marin #running #trails #hiking

The trail led to a tranquil lake and green rolling hills!

I hiked the Elk Mountain - King’s Mountain Loop this morning. I tell myself I’m never doing this trail again each time, today being no exception. Elk Mountain is difficult, but fine. The technical section between Elk and King’s begins with repelling down the mountain with a rope. From there, it’s “trail” on cliff edges and parts where you have to scramble up rock with not much to hold onto and cliffs behind you if you slip.

Ooh, this looks like a fun #hiking destination. San Antonio Ski Hut. Elevation is an issue though, need to acclimate to 8300' - $15 if you are a Sierra Club Member, $20 if you are a non member. (ran across this in viewing satellite photos, LOL) https://angeles.sierraclub.org/san_antonio_ski_hut

The mountains in the Pacific Northwest are full of fawn lilies right now.

Made it back home so here’s some bonus photos and a trail report for those in the area. Within the last two weeks the Larch Mountain trail has been completely cleared of downed trees. The trail hasn’t been this well maintained since 2019. Snow at 4000 feet has mostly melted. Only one tiny patch on the entire trail. Hoping that Wahtum Lake will be clear in two weeks but it’s apparently still super snowy.

#Hiking #Backpacking advice for the day: always carry a Mylar rescue blanket with you. Not only can they be used to keep you warm (or cool, as shade), they are highly, highly visible to rescue helicopters. It will be the best $1.00 (well... 90 cents) you have ever spent on equipment. And they also weigh nothing.

40 years ago today: The climb up Hump was a bear, but views from every inch of the trail lightened the load. Like Round Bald, Jane Bald, and Little Hump, this summit had 360-degree views, but Hump Mountain stood more remote from the other high peaks, and the panorama extended for miles in every direction.

Mount Hood from the summit of Larch Mountain. Powered hiked up from sea level 7 miles to the 4056 ft. viewpoint in 2:37, probably my personal best. Such an amazing location and there are zero people up here. The views up here also include Mt. St.Helens, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Jefferson. Time to jog back down.

How to Reach Flow State While #Hiking 👇💡🥾⛰️ #hikingtips

We're have a wonderfully relaxing week or so around our house in #France, completing lots of gardening and maintenance jobs between lazy bouts in the pool. Everything is growing like crazy (bucket loads of strawberries) and the weather has been fantastically sunny, so hard to pull ourselves away - but tomorrow we are leaving for a month of play in the #FrenchAlps; #wildwimming, #hiking and downhill #cycling awaits.




Fingerpost on the top of Turne, which also has pretentions to be a summit cross (summit book included and all).

A beautiful vista unfolds stretching as far as the eye can see!

Abgehakt - Elsterperlenweg | Tag 2 🏕️
Nun wollte ich nach dem langen gestrigen Tag, den heutigen ruhiger angehen lassen, um nicht Gefahr zu laufen wieder zu früh am Ausgangspunkt des Elsterperlenweges zu stehen, was dann doch so kam.
Sollte vielleicht auch so sein, denn leider haben sich meine Leisten wieder gemeldet. Trotzdem ein eindrucksvoller Wanderweg 👌

Ab ins Vogtland - Elsterperlenweg | Tag 1 🏕️
Es war mal wieder Zeit das Geraffel in den Rucksack zu stopfen und für ein paar Tage in die Natur zu verschwinden.
Meinen gereizten Leisten und dem leidigen Halluxgequängel wollte ich nochmal auf den Zahn fühlen.
Resümee am Ende des Tages: Nach gut 10 Stunden auf dem Trail haben sich die Leisten haben sich sehr dezent zurück gehalten und die Hallux keinen Mucks von sich geben 😃
