China Meadows
The weekend of 13 Sep 08, Tracy and I backpacked at China Meadows in the Uintas. I’ve read that this trail can get pretty crowded in the summer so I hoped it would be late enough in the season to avoid the people. It was. We only…

Lower Aero Lake
On September 4, 2008, Jess and I headed to the Beartooths for a four day backpacking loop. We had tried to go the weekend before, but the weather forecast called for some nasty winter weather (yeah, just 3 weeks after the last winter weather stopped…), so we…
Flat Tops Wilderness
The weekend of August 1, 2008, Tracy and I headed to the Flat Tops Wilderness in Colorado for a three day hiking trip. We were originally going to hike in the Winds, but the snow still looked iffy, so then we decided to do the Beartooths, but…
Heart Lake
Over the long weekend of July 4, 2008, Chris and Stacia flew in from Seattle and we all four went to the Tetons and Yellowstone for the weekend. The Tetons were pretty crowded, so we camped Friday night just outside of the south entrance of Yellowstone. Saturday…
Amethyst Basin
The weekend of 21 Jun 08, Tracy and I headed back to hike the Stillwater Creek Trail in the Uintas. We had checked out the trail the weekend before and we were pretty sure this trail was mostly snow-free. This winter was a bad one and the…
Limber Flag Yurt
The weekend of 1 Feb 08, Tracy and I braved the weather in the mountains of eastern Utah and headed up to the Limber Flag Yurt in the Uinta Mountains of the Ashley National Forest. We had tried a few weeks earlier to do the same trip,…
Pebble Creek

Roosevelt National Park
Over the Labor Day weekend of August 31, 2007, Tracy and I headed to Roosevelt National Park in north west North Dakota. Of course, everyone warned us that this trip would rank up there with our Arkansas trip a few years ago, but Tracy had never been…
Titcomb Basin
The week of August 5, 2007, David and I took a backpacking trip to the Wind River Range in Wyoming. We started at the Elkhart Park trailhead and headed up to Titcomb Basin. I was little apprehensive about hiking this trail, because I was worried that it…
Twin Lakes
The weekend of 13 Jul 07, Tracy and I decided to check out the Sawtooth Wilderness in Idaho. We had never been up there, and we figured it was time we checked it out. We hiked the Alice Lake Trail starting from Pettit Lake. We were planning…
