On my list. Just hope to get there. Thanks for the photos.

Alaska gives a whole new meaning to "huge" - it's easy to lose your sense of scale up there. The Harding Icefield and its glaciers cover more than 1,000 square miles, and the ice in the area around the top of Exit Glacier is around 2,000 feet thick. I think in spots its thickness approaches...

Awesome photos. When we did the hike it was raining and foggy the whole time. I wanna go back when there is weather like that.

Gorgeous.

In September of 2013, my wife and I, along with my parents, headed up to Alaska for Labor Day week. We rented an RV in Anchorage and drove down the Seward for two days, then to Talkeetna for a couple days, then on to Denali NP for three days. Didn't get to do the backpacking that I had wanted...

Gorgeous.

Awesome.

i don't know much about cameras, but when we started backpacking I got a Sony NEX-5N mirrorless camera because it had a great combination of being lightweight, easy to use, and produced good quality photos and acceptable video. You should be able to get one of those with an 18-55mm lense for...

Love that arch.

I'm excited for you. You will definitely want to be back. We went through the Crack in the Wall. We had a rented Jeep Wrangler 4WD. Made it to the trailhead without engaging 4WD, but it was like hydroplaning on the sand the last couple of miles (after the sign that warns of deep sand). If...

I use Backpacker as inspiration and a springboard, and it was particularly helpful when we first started out. I had never even heard of North Cascades National Park before I read about it in Backpacker in 2012. I also got the Heather Pass/ Maple Pass loop hike from a later Backpacker issue. I...

My wife and I took our first backpacking trip over Labor Day week in 2012. At the beginning of the year I did not even know that North Cascades National Park existed. Hiking, camping, and backpacking were not on my radar. Then I saw a copy of a Backpacker magazine at a newsstand. On the cover...

A peaceful moment on the river. There were many of them. Even on Memorial Day weekend there were very few people on the river.

Neither my wife nor I had ever been to the southern Utah / Arizona Strip area until 2013, when we visited Zion NP, GSENM, Capitol Reef NP, and Bryce NP, and fell in love with it. We spent 8 days exploring the area, but of course that was not even enough time to scrape the surface. It just...

Wow, that is awesome. Much better. Thanks!

I'm in Hoover, just south of Birmingham. I love SLC as well.
