Hello, mountains!

I ticked another item off my list of "Things To Do On My Week Off". I went hiking today in the moutains with some friends. They are moving east in a few weeks, so they also wanted to get out to the mountains one last time. It was a beautiful day, and the hike was fantastic. We did the Nihahi Ridge...

Sunrise Hike - Mt. Tallac

A friend called me yesterday to invite me on a full moon/sunrise hike up Mt. Tallac, and while the notion of waking up at 3.30 am wasn't all that thrilling, the idea of hiking in cooler temps was. So I sacrificed a few hours of sleep to make the 4 am trailhead call. Not many photos were taken,...

Vox is that special someone.

Thursday I took part in one of the most rigorous activities since I last got laid... so uh... yeah, a while. Bobby and Eric, two coworkers I've known for almost five years now, and I went out to Valley Center's Hellhole Canyon for a solid, three and a half hour hike. Sweet Christ, it was hot, long,...

Silver Falls

Scott and I finally made it to Silver Falls down past Silverton today. Wow! I think we ended up seeing four or five large waterfalls and a number of smaller falls, or dribbles as I called them. It was amazing - and an awful lot of hiking. Hiking in jeans just isn't the smartest idea I've had in a...

BreakEmIn

Lucky me, I've got connections at REI and was able to get a new pair of hiking boots for 30% off their marked price. Originally $150, I got em for $105... sweeeet. It's been a few years since I've gotten a pair, so I was over due since all my camping and hikes have been in tennis shoes or Chuck...

Our Weekend

On Sunday we headed out after church and lunch and tried out some local hiking trails. We ended up stopping on the sledding trail we were on in winter. It was so beautiful. The entire hillside was covered with wildflowers, lupines, daisies and many I cannot name. Also, the ground cover was a mixture...

Good to sweat together

Got up early on Saturday, met up with some total strangers (from a hiking group organized at Meetup.com) and drove out to the New Jersey/New York border for a sweaty day of hiking! 'Course, it wasn't anything like the Colorado trip I took around this time last year, though there were similarities....

Fruits of our labor

So nice to see all the work we did a few weeks ago. Makes the hike so much easier.

Tour de Dents du Midi, Valais, Switzerland

Hiking in the Swiss Alps is a humbling experience in so many ways. Here the trails are steep and narrow and sometimes exposed, leaving you with a clear view of the river/precipice/gorge below. Here switchbacks are for the weak, and trails climb steeply upward, making mileage a useless measure of...

From freshwater to salt water

On Tuesday, we headed over to North Vancouver’s Lynn Canyon Park to do some hiking. We’ve been to the park several times lately, as it houses a suspension bridge that is fun to show our visitors. (Or so we assume.) However, we hadn't yet taken time to explore the many trails in the area. Hiking...

Hike.

Went for a hike today. Wasn't quite sure how it would go, since hiking really isn't a normal activity for me, but it was actually fine. The trail was fairly easy, the company was good, and it was a beautiful day. All told, we traveled about 9 miles with 2500 feet of elevation gain, or so it was...

On top of Southern California

Sunday, a group of people and I hiked up to the top of Mt. San Gorgonio, the highest mountain in Southern California. The peak is at 11.516 feet (3800 meters) and I spent 8 hours hiking to the top of it. A pretty cool hike, but kind of extreme for me with all the heat and the low oxygen up at that...
