Yeah it sounds like something that would be a hit around here! Haha.

I asked him if it's useful, and here's his response: "Depends what they mean as useful haha. To me, it's really interesting because he goes into more depth and history about trails that do not exist anymore. If you're just casually using it to explore yellowstone, it's a bit dense, but as...

Glad it was a hit! Enjoyed the additional details about the trail. I understand why it's abandoned, but it's still too bad there's not an official route up there. The book was Yellowstone Trail and Backcountry Field Guide by Thomas P Bohannan. He said he also found a few discussions about it...

September 27 - October 1, 2025 I took even longer than normal to write this up, somehow. Sitting here at the end of the Winter That Never Was (for the western, non-Alaska US, anyway) has me thinking about backpacking. This was the 6th year in a row doing a trip in the Bechler area of...

Story of the winter up here, too. Dismal in the valley.

Fantastic! This has me itching for summer after our nearly nonexistent winter so far. (and thank you for putting your preferred preview photo first, makes our new featuring process wildly easy for me!)

Always loved his black and white photography from his river trips, his photos of the mountains from his home, and his narrations on his reports. I'll never forget the little interaction I had on here where @Nick posted a photo of him, which I compared to Bob Balaban. Links if you'd like a...

Thanks for throwing in just a few photos that helped me get my bearings a little bit. Haha. This one looks fantastic. I have found and packed out a mylar balloon with that exact same text on it, far off trail in SW YNP before. Unfortunate how frequently they turn up in places like this.

Love to see it! I need to stop being so lax about remembering bear spray when I head to the Bridgers and Bangtails :oops:

Great trip, fond memories! Was looking for it in the first comment, glad to see it! I've just about forgotten what snow looks like this season.

Loved seeing all the tents! Fantastic comment.

It's still my go-to for a lot of stuff when I need it faster than I can get it delivered. Consumables like gel chews for cycling, backpacking meals, and backpacking fuel mostly, and other stuff when I need it in a pinch. I'll buy an article of clothing or a pair of shoes there maybe once every...

South Guardian Angel! Nice work!! Possibly the hardest day hike I've ever done, even though it's not extremely far distance-wise.

I think about this from time to time. My number stays about the same every year haha. Feel free to start the thread for 2025! We've only got 2 months to pump up those numbers for the year!

That's how I understand it. Maybe worth paging @Nick to see if there's any other functionality that hasn't been mentioned here. I'm not aware.

I just write normal text underneath them as a caption. You can edit the text if you want it to appear differently than your standard body text.

Hey I lived in Utah back then! Hahaha. I have always had a decent cold tolerance though... You and @booksandhikes make a great point that cold tolerance is not universal and probably isn't something to mess with if you've got beginners not used to cold.

I did Syncline with a spur out to camp at the Green back in early March 2020. That comment you linked with the water sources looks about right. I don't believe there's much water in Taylor, but I have not been (for that reason). We got all our water from the Green, using aluminum sulfate to...

A single wilderness ranger that's actually only a volunteer? That poor, kind soul.

SW Yellowstone!
