    First time in the Beartooths

    It was our 24th Fall campout! We were taking our first trip in to the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness and would be going in for 8 days. I specifically chose a route that was shorter in the hopes that we might have an easier trip this year. It turns out that hiking around 10,000 feet is just taxing...

    First time in to the Sawtooth Wilderness!

    It was a long haul for me to get down to the Tin Cup Trailhead, but I was incredibly excited to do the Alice-Toxaway loop. Maybe the most popular route in the Sawtooths. I linked up with my group at the trailhead and we started out and planned on hitting Alice Lake on first night. It seemed...

    First time in the Wind Rivers

    Thanks! We did get a few fish for dinner, but the year before they said get caught over 200 fish... not the case this year.

    First time in the Wind Rivers

    This was my first trip into the Wind Rivers. The group I was going in with had been there the previous 2 years. This year they wanted to hit one of the most popular areas in the range, Titcomb Basin. We started out from the Elkhart Trailhead and the parking lot was absolutely packed when we...

    Hiking the Idaho Centennial Trail in the Great Burn

    This route is one that I've had on my list for about a year now ever since I saw another video from the same area. We got to the trailhead late in the day and the smoke in the air made it seem later than it was. The main goal was to get into Trio Lakes. There was no trail on my map into the...

    Four Lakes Basin in the Southern Cabinet Mountains - Montana

    This is an area and a route that I had hiked a few years ago. When I did it the first time it instantly became one of my favorite hikes. The first time I was here it was really smoky. This time the skies were much clearer and I expected the views to be that much better. The trail starts...

    A smoky trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness

    This was our annual 7 day, Fall Campout! We've been trying to do this route for a while and it always seemed like one thing or another kept us out. Circumstances were trying to keep us out again.. Not only with the pandemic, but of course fires! The smoke from the fires burning in Oregon had...

    Cedar Lakes Loop in Montana's Cabinet Mountains Wilderness

    I can't take credit for the hockey mask, Jessie brought it and put it in the tree, so naturally I had to get a picture. Thanks for checking it out!

    Cedar Lakes Loop in Montana's Cabinet Mountains Wilderness

    We started on this route on a Monday and so we were not expecting to see anyone.... That all changed at the trailhead when we saw a couple campers and a day hiker. That's just the way it has been this year. Jessie from the YouTube Channel HYOY-WU invited me on this trip through the Cabinet...

    High Uintas Wilderness - Granddaddy Basin

    I think that we hit Fern on a Tuesday as well.. strange. The people who were camped there said that they have never seen people in there either. Unfortunately we didn't get there soon enough and missed the good campsites. The fishing wasn't that great either. There were quite a few people at...

    High Uintas Wilderness - Granddaddy Basin

    After not getting back to Utah for a few years, I finally made it to the High Uintas! Our plan was to go into the Granddaddy Basin and then figure out our route from there. There are so many lakes and trails to explore it gives you quite a few options. The basin sees a lot of people and is...
