We did it in August. It's my only time I've done it, but I believe Summit has done it during other times of the year. Even in August it was still pretty cold up there at night at such a high elevation. If I were to do it again I'd likely just try another August or possibly a late July trip up...

Very nice job Nick. Very thorough. Congrats to "that person" for winning the random drawing.

Very nice. I was just reading about Death Hollow and the route from the BMT. I'd love to do it someday. What other routes have you done? Does the upper portion of Death Hollow run under the Hells Backbone bridge?

I agree. I'd love to backpack that area.

Atlanta was cooler than I expected. It's this huge city surrounded by pine trees. It has its ghetto areas, but some of the areas outside the city really are beautiful.

That's awesome. Like your backpacking weight spread sheet, I'm going to have to copy you on this one.

After work I met up with Alene at the Big Cottonwood Canyon parking lot and we drove up canyon with the intention of doing a short hike with Bailey. Alene was 5.5 months pregnant so we weren't going to do anything hardcore (plus bailey was with us, so we had to go at her pace). We decided to...

Caiden was working toward his year-round camper merit badge during 2011 and during the football season we had a hard time staying consistent, so we had to get in a few trips toward the end o the year. In late October we met up with my dad in Mapleton Canyon, which is a 5-10 minute drive from...

We love Maple Canyon because it's relatively close place to feel away from the world (despite it's over-crowdedness with climbers). This was Fathers Day weekend and we had planned a trip with a few members of my family (which can still be a lot) and we also invited the Beatty Family along, both...

Sweeeeet! You can never have too many packs. I'm thinking we'll likely use this on our trip to CA next month when we backpack to our campsite at Point Reyes. My wife will carry our (then) 6 month old on her front side with the Kelty baby harness and then carry whatever else she can in this pack...

Awesome TR. I loved the story of Nikita messing around with that Elk. I'm sure it was scary at the time, but makes for a fun story. I sure wish I liked fish because I love the idea of not having to carry more food in on a trip and just relying on lake trout. I can't stand fish, so I guess...

Oh yeah! That was it. Bowen wasn't quite ready to summit.

Alene, Caiden, and my Nephew Brady (who is 1.5 years older than Caiden) all went down to stay in St. George this weekend to get into a bit warmer climate. We spent our time in a hotel there at the Marriot, which was very nice. Alene gets great discounts there through her work as a travel agent...

Alene, April, and Bill had planned a backpacking trip up to the top of Mt Timpanogos over a weekend we did not have Caiden, however I had a football game to coach that Saturday and opted to back out of going with them. I was a little jealous because I had not had a chance to try out our new...

The purpose of this trip was 3-fold. First, Alene's brother was graduating from the University of Montana so her family was meeting up in Missoula to attend the graduation. Second, Alene grew up in Missoula so it was an opportunity for her to show me where she grew up. Three, we were going to be...

(I don't think this community was intended for only the Southwest, so I'm going to throw this up here) The company I work for is based in Atlanta and every year we have a department meeting at the HQ and get a chance to tour something in the city. This year I decided to buy an extra ticket for...

Looks like Torrey was having a good time. How was that pack he/she carried? Did you have dry items in there when he/she took a dip in the water?

That sucks. These type of people rank up there with people that rig ropes around arches and swing off them and make viral videos about it.

Thanks for the info. We were able to stick to the trail most of the time, but we found ourselves crossing the river often to see if we could find the arch or some pictographs we had looked up. We didn't bring much info with us, so we were wandering blind. I'll definitely use this info next time...
