What a great hike. When we were there the weather deteriorated as we got higher and we never got clear views of the Harding Ice Field. It is sobering to see those signs and how they get further and further away from each other but the dates get closer to each other.
Those night shots with the light look cool. Excellent report and photos. Now I gotta get back out to that area and do the Needles District. Didn't know it had so much to offer.
I fell in love with Canyonlands when we first visited Island in the Sky last Memorial Day weekend. Just awesomeness all around. I really enjoyed your photos and report.
Nice report. So much to do at Death Valley. We spent a week there after Christmas and didn't do a single thing that y'all did. I guess we gotta get back out there a see more of it! Envious of y'all getting to experience the SuperBloom.
My wife and I hiked Mount Perry in Death Valley National Park on December 28, 2015. The hike to Mount Perry is 8 miles round trip. It starts from the Dante's View parking lot and traverses several ridges and minor peaks before ascending up to the top of Mount Perry, which dominates the Black...
Nice report and great photos. I love those "golden hour" landscapes. Looks like the Ute guy in the petroglyph was trying to get the animals to jump through his hoop -- evidence of a prehistoric circus maybe.
My wife and I spent the week after Christmas exploring parts of Death Valley National Park in California. I had planned a "highlights" tour of the park, with us doing a day hike or back country drive each day. We spent our first night at Texas Spring campground. It was chilly and windy, but...
Don't give up on BCP yet. I've been derelict about posting some of my pissant reports, and I get intimidated when I read some of these reports of awesome trips lasting multiple weeks in places I'll never go (like you I live in Alabama, so can't just pack up the truck for weekend trip in the...
Nice report and great photos. My wife and I did it in May. A life list trip for sure. Water was high for us, so we had less access than y'all did. So much to do on that river. Thanks for posting and taking me back there.
Just an Epic trip. Can't be many better places to get stranded for a couple days. Great photos and report, I especially like the snow scene with the tents, lake, and misty mountains in the background. I've never been to either park, and can't wait to get out there. Trying to put together a...
Our first real hiking trip was to the North Cascades a few years ago, and that Cascade Pass / Sahale Arm hike is fantastic. Thanks for the report and those views. What a great way for a father and daughter to spend a couple weeks.
