Ive got a buddy from the NW who Im planning on taking on a weekend trip around the first or second week of march. Im trying to come up with some good ideas for a backpacking route, but Im not really sure what to go with and was hoping you guys might be able to give me some good ideas What Im looking...

Ive got that same lens and love it

I might be persuaded in going, its been awhile since Ive been on a trip so something easy might be a nice slump breaker

How often do you make it up to that part of the country?

I try to get up there once a year, and the drive or flight is pretty boring, next summer a couple friends from minneapolis and I are thinking about doing the winds, if your interested there would more than likely be room

Ive been in both yellowstone and glacier, and the backcountry in glacier has always seemed far more crowded than in yellowstone I wouldnt worry too much about bears if you do go to glacier, every camp ive stayed at has had at least 2-4 other groups there as well, the western side is a bit more wild,...

Ive began my planning for a trip I will take next summer and was wondering if any Hike AZ'ers have been in the region before. I will be traveling to Bettles, AK for a trip up into the Gates of the Artic. Info is a bit sparse for the region, now I know there aren't any trails within the park, instead...

I have is scheduled for May 15...and I would like to get it done. Hopefully it's not going to be 100 degrees out! I have been thinking about heading up north instead that weekend and doing something around Payson. What do you think? Yah I might be more up for something around Payson, I have a bit o...

Tyler, did you do this one? or are you gonna soon?

I need to get out soon, and after this week Ill finally have some time.....

Went to REI for first time in a long time today. I think I'm going to pay my $20 for a membership! Also fell in love with an Osprey Atmos pack. Have to save for alittle while. just wait until the new versions come out, I got one about 2yrs ago for 65$, its the same pack the only difference is the c...

You dont want to miss lake Elizabeth, ptargmigan wall, 50 mountain, goat haunt & stony indian are some of my favorites The last time I was at 50 mountain I was relaxing in the late summer sun (9pm) far far off trail with a friend, as we were heading back to camp we came across a sow grizzly and ...

Im gonna have to make it on one of your excursions soon, its been far too long since Ive had time to get out in the backcountry.... The 2 from ABC, do you know them? I just ask because the way Mike portrayed some of them, it seems that this MIGHT be a big trip for them, or are you looking for anothe...

Id have to say its my Dry Porter that I brew up every Fall for thanksgiving....no its my IPA, wait I think it woudl be the gueuze I just bottled...........

The Shoshone geyser basin is fairly accessible, I know there is a shorter trail to it that isn’t used as much, I’ve only gone the whole way around the lake though so I dunno how the trail is. But the geysers are very cool, and regularly erupt ~10ft high and there are plenty of hot springs around it

Ill have to play it by ear, I dunno how my work schedule will be around then but Id really love to go!

He actually was suffering from severe dehydration, he was very lucky its nice and cool now what I dont understand was how he got so turned around? I mean you can see weavers need very easily from blacktop mesa, I dunno just glad he's alright So, you guys think this is where I sit him down and have t...

They found him a bit dehydrated and with some frost bite on his toes near black top mesa

There is a missing hiker in the Supes He was planning on being home yesterday (saturday 10/10/09) at 4PM He was hiking from Peralta to Weavers Needle, SAR has found someone that believes they saw him yesterday about 230pm near the Needle I wish I had some info on clothing but no one can remember wha...

man you are one lucky guy to have the time to head up there at that time of the year, last years pics look amazing! Dunno if you only interested in day hikes, but a loop around shoshone lake is a great trip, and the geyser basin in the backcountry there is really cool, and there are some pretty nice...

hmm still thinking about this one, although if this was the "Wind River Range" (165mi) June 2010 hike, I would already be committed ;)

the lignin in wood is highly resistant to degradation, very few things degrade it and most are specialized fungi, not someting you see in the dry forests of AZ, a good burn and that thing will be gone....... not wishing that on humphreys though wood that is high in lignin will also burn hotter and l...
