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

I just spent the past few weeks adding MapBox support to my #hiking app(s) because Apple doesn't support offline mapping or topo maps. Today they announced support at #WWDC and I'm not even mad at throwing that work out. Fingers crossed it works well. Looks promising

Dappled sunlight spills over a forest floor. The ground is covered with small fawn lilies. Each lily has a pair of thick green leaves sprouting from the ground, and a single flower stalk capped with a yellow flower with large petals that curve backwards. Some of the fawn lilies are in the shadows and some are highlighted by spots of sunlight.

We are standing close to a lake. Between us and the lake is a small thicket of cattails, tall grasses, daisies and yellow wildflowers. The far shore of the lake is wooded. The sky is mostly clouded up except for a break near the horizon where the sky is gold tinted from the recently set sun. The sun  is painting the bottoms of the clouds purple with dramatic streaks of fiery orange near the horizon and dark pink above us. All of this is mirrored on the slightly rippled surface of the lake below.

Above a silhouetted forest a deep blue sky up top gradually fading to light blue along the horizon. A cluster of small fluffy white clouds is funneling out from the lower lefthand corner of the pic, filling most of the sky. Near the horizon, they seem to be one solid mass, but as they stream overhead you can see that they are many small fluffy clouds with gaps of blue sky in between.

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.

Beneath a hazy summer sky we are looking over the treetops at a large lake hundreds of feet below. It is mostly surrounded by forest, with wooded ridges rising above the far shore and two wooded islands within the lake. There are a few farm fields and houses scattered around three sides of the lake, the left side has a small village - a modest cluster of farms and houses. On the horizon, wooded ridges and valleys cascade off into the misty distance.

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.

Beneath a hazy summer sky we are standing atop a low ridge looking out over the treetops to a large lake about 200 feet (60 meters) below. Directly ahead is a rounded structure rising from the lake topped with a metal crane. It is connected to the shoreline by a concrete walkway. A grassy peninsula juts out into the lake to our left. The wooded far shore rises quickly hundreds of feet to the long, wooded crest of Iron Mountain.

We are standing beside a lake looking over a small patch of leafy shrubs with clusters of tiny dark pink blossoms. The lake has many large clusters of lily pads. A low wooded ridge rises above the far shore. The golden orange sun is just setting behind that ridge, between a nearby peninsula covered with tall trees and a small wooded island. Although the horizon is clear, the majority of the sky is filled with clouds painted orange gold by the setting sun. All this is mirrored on the calm lake surface below.

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.

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

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

Welcome to the San Antonio Ski Hut

Built by the Ski Mountaineers in 1936, the San Antonio Ski Hut is located at 8,300' and reached via a steep 3-mile hike and 2200' foot elevation gain. The trailhead starts 1 mile beyond the locked gate of San Antonio Falls Rd. (approx 300 yards past Snowcrest Lodge and 400 yards before the entrance to Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts). The hut offers a fully-equiped kitchen, dishes, cookware, running water and solar lighting. Sleeping room for up to 16 is available. Water from a spring is piped directly through the kitchen, running 24 hours a day. Day Use: $1 Donation; Overnight: Sierra Club Members $15, Non-members $20

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.

⬇️ Thread in comments

#backpacking #hiking #NorthCarolina #landscapephotography #nature #mountains #Tennessee

Standing atop the grassy summit of lofty Hump Mountain beneath a soft blue sky with long, hazy clouds. The ridge crest makes a long graceful S curve as it makes a long descent to a wooded gap and then climbs a much smaller mountain (Little Hump Mountain). There are several rock outcrops around the edges of the mountaintop and down along the ridge crest, both light gray and dark gray rock, but the vast majority of the crest is a long, grassy meadow until that gap. The flanks of the mountain are wooded, as is the side of Little Hump facing us. The summit of Little Hump is open and grassy. Beyond Little Hump rises the wooded mountainsides of Roan Mountain. It has several peaks as lofty as the one we are on.

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.

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.
