June 26-28, 2020 I spent last weekend on Boulder Top, exactly five years after my first trip there. That first trip was a day-trip on a motorcycle with very little hiking, but this trip was in my Jeep with plenty of hiking. Chris joined me and we drove down late Friday afternoon. Just...

Between March and September of 2019, I hiked an absolutely amazing route through the heart of the West. I began atop a "sky island" on the Arizona/Mexico border and finished in a deep, dark ancient cedar and hemlock forest on the Idaho/Canada border. And in between, I saw a lot of cool stuff! I...

A buddy and I took a long weekend trip down to Boulder Mountain to do some car camping/fishing last September. We had an great trip and caught some amazing fish. Weather was excellent for that time of the year and the scenery was second to none. Here are some pics.
