    Yellowstone/Tetons Help

    I did think about the reverse shuttle, leaving the car near Jenny lake for our exit. It is a great idea, if we can make it happen. I'm not opposed to hitching, not sure about my friend. We are also debating grabbing a cheap hotel room at Teton Village to clean and repack for Garnet Canyon...

    Yellowstone/Tetons Help

    @AKay09 - I checked my map and it is a newer one, like @Chuck the Mauler mentioned. No mileage segments for the trails. You can check out CalTopo and figure it out though, just takes some time. Weather wise, yeah - anything can happen. I'm just 1/1 for snow in the Tetons in Sept. Just to share...

    Yellowstone/Tetons Help

    @Outdoor_Fool Interesting - I have the Trails Illustrated map for GTNP and I want to say the mileage waypoints (red markers) are not on there! I know they have overall mileage listed for specific hikes though. I'm doing "most" of the Crest and Middle Teton mid-July so I've been planning...

    Guess the spot: Utah Edition

    Looks like a bighorn sheep up there on the ridge - taken from Provo Canyon Road or near it / near Bridal Veil falls area. Could be way off but thats my first guess.

    Guess the spot

    @Mike K You're right there. Exact location is 40.599078, -111.675698. Took this on a day hike last fall - I climbed up the north ridge of Superior via Lake Blanche. Then hiked down to Oktoberfest for some beers. This is remnants of some old mine structure/hut up there - probably part of the...

    Multi-day hike: questions on tent/food?

    Oatmeal, coffee (I use the starbucks VIA), energy bars, drink mixes to add to water, hot chocolate (with a bit of whisky at night), freeze dried meals. I'm really impressed with the AlpineAire freeze dried foods - I pretty much look for the most calories I can get when it comes to freeze dried...

    Guess the spot

    @Artemus - You're within 4 miles as the crow flies. If the string of trees wasn't there you just might just be able to catch a glimpse of a very popular lake. I might give this one up later today and pass the torch

    Guess the spot

    I never heard of Longmire before this actually, but I heard about that area awhile back. I couldn't remember the name of it so I had to look up Longmire to see if I could dig up the spot! Here you go:

    How many have relocated to be closer to outdoor activities?

    Moved here to Park City, UT about 3.5 years ago from Buffalo, NY. Have since moved and own a home in SLC. I lived in Buffalo for 30 years (my whole life) and we decided to just to up and leave. We were coming out here to visit about once a year and I love the outdoors and the mountains. I guess...

    Scariest Backcountry Experiences

    I've never had a really scary experience in the backcountry, only when car camping. About 5 or 6 years ago we were on a yearly trip to Lake Tahoe and were camping in the campground at Camp Richardson. We were with my brother and sister-in-law and their 2 kids. We chose a really nice site that...

    Guess the spot

    I was going to take an educated guess based on looking up all the JW inscriptions and say Forbidding Canyon but the hint @Nick gave is making me want to switch my guess to Grotto canyon? No idea, never been there!

    Dumbest thing taken on a backpacking trip?

    One of my first backpacking trips when I lived back in NY was in the High Peaks of the ADKs - My pack weighed about 50lbs for 3 days - I brought way too much food - I don't know why, but I had about 2 or 3lbs of trail mix in my bear canister along with some mountain houses and a ton of clif...
