Yes, but how were their bathrooms????

From what I am seeing, around Flagstaff color is peaking. Elden looked to peak at the upper levels last week, along with Kendrick, and the aspen near the bottom of the Humphrey Trail #151 is peaking as I type. Once it moves out of the aspen on The Peaks, it's the gambel oak around Flagstaff and then...

Better late than never, the Ritas have picked up some decent totals over the last 7 days. Wrightson, Ian, and the crest up to Florida Saddle have had 2 to 3 inches according to the radar estimate. The 30 day estimate for that same area is in the 4 to 5 inch band. The winter was virtually precipitati...

I know you're planning on parking at Pima Canyon, but last I saw, the tire spike and gate at Finger Rock TH were not functional. Lots of spent condoms at the bottom of the FR lot, too, so late night rendezvous are a thing, there. What are the odds that a deputee is going to be on patrol looking for ...

Indiana Wesleyan coach Andrew Rode, in an Instagram post, said his team’s June 22 hike to the summit of the Mount of the Holy Cross was meant to prepare the seniors to become leaders. Trial by fire, then? But for one 275-pound defensive lineman — described as an inexperienced hiker from Indiana Thi...

Where would you move the store to, then?

https://www.summithut.com/ https://www.kgun9.com/news/local-news/summit-hut-to-close-after-nearly-three-decades-in-tucson Sources, too. Store should probably have been located somewhere with more people and more money, since Tucson isn't a wealthy town, they have more than ample competition, and the...

Could be moist.

Did the video work for everyone? It wouldn't I guess I block ads or something.

@Pivo Kinda sucks, but at least we get to see them cuddle fellas. It's all cuddles and licks, for sure.

Ha! Just posted a comment telling Gummo to head there! I'm seeing many photos of a bear or two. Seems the drought might be making bears comfortable with humans.

@SpiderLegs My guess is that location was expensive beyond what the store could generate. It was the only location I visited in the last 11 years after originally buying clothes at the original old Speedway location which seemed fine. It was simply too far from me to justify visiting. The OV locati...

@Alston_Neal https://hikearizona.com/dex2/viewtopic.php?p=150857#p150857 From an NPS firefighter buddy who was working on the Dragon Bravo fire - "Im here on the ground, we were about to contain it by burning off the roads but lost our resources to the White Sage fire and didn't have enough pe...

He knew when to fold, as opposed to hold.

If the public was more rational, and the NPS had the resources, perhaps this sort of thing would not have happened the way it did as the forest between the fire origin and the lodge would have been actively managed, both making it easier to have a managed wildfire and suppress when it became riskier...

@outdoor_lover
Post a photo set and hopefully you captured some of the tree stems as well as crowns, and I might be able to help. That is if you're not just being rhetorical.

If you read the chain, it should be clear that the focus shifted to Keable as a result of the "Chief Defender of the Faith" insisting that Keable and Keable alone, was the dei hire. This was obviously a deflection by making it seem that Keable simply couldn't be due to his being a white ma...

Social justice: Achieved!

@DixieFlyer It seems that in addition to not exactly being someone you or I might think was in his element, national park travelers thought he was not a likely choice, as well. Outwardly, Keable seems an unlikely choice for the job as he has no on-the-ground experience with the Park Service. Indeed...

What exactly were people buying at Summit Hut that was hard to find elsewhere? Was it climbing gear? I've had a very narrow focus of hiking for a long time, and that requires little more than a pack and shoes you like, unless you're a barefoot guy. I'm not. Some of the "outdoor" stuff requ...
