I am trying to find the African Basin on the topo map but cant find it, I see some thermals in google earth but I am not sure. How many miles into your hike is it located ?
this is a great route !!! I have done Mary Mountain and always wondered about a hike that would take me into the Valley. Let me ask about thermals: are they obvious ? I dont want to hike in an area and all of a sudden become chicken soup. I found a thermal in a bison trail about mile 5 in Mary...
I initially labelled NP633 on another forum and was corrected and told it was the Flint trail, but what I was looking to drive doesnt get even close to the Maze (it is well southwest of it), it is technically still in the Glen Canyon Rec Area. I see in the topo map and area labelled Waterhole...
Hi,
Can someone please give me an idea of the normal road conditions of the Flint trail, but coming south from the Hite bridge crossing. I am interested (next year) in driving it for about 20-30 miles north (looking for barrier canyon pictograph in that area). I have driven the dirt road that...
thanks !!!!
I know those two are long, I have not checked their profiles in caltopo to figure out how much of the hike is going up. I tend to do between 15-20 miles per hike, but I have done those distances in for example Glacier National Park and I am not sure if that is a fair comparison to...
Hi,
Planning for my first trip to Yellowstone in September 2020, plenty of time to plan.
I am staying in Gardiner and then in Old Faithful cabins, 4 and 5 days.
I don't have shuttle option for thru hikes (solo hiker) and I don't like trails with lots of crowds.
I am preparing a list of hikes...
so I am planning a backpacking trip to Denali in about three years. I was there last year doing day
hikes and I fell in love with the area. I have found very little information about good
backpacking areas, so I want to hear from people about what I have found and what I am interested in...
THANKS A LOT FOR THIS !!!! This is exactly what I wanted, feedback from people that have hiked in the backcountry. I do have Waits book, I have used it for day hikes on my recent trip (and next year's) but I neglected reading the parts about multi-day hikes. Thanks again !!!!
yes, I saw all that info in their website. I was hoping for any first hand knowledge of nice areas to hike (i know, the whole place is great :) ) and corridors between units. That is the hard part to figure out if I want to hike between units.
I fell in love with Denali this past summer and now I want to backpack in the park. I tried to google information on areas that people find appealing to backpack for about 3 days, but I can't find anything with details. I don't want really gps paths, but instead recommendations on areas of...
