Brown Duck Basin
On July 22, 2006, I did a solo overnighter to Brown Duck Basin in the Uintas. It was crazy hot in the city, so I figured I needed to get away to the mountains. This was a pretty good hike, but it gained a lot of elevation,…

Swasey Lakes
On June 25, 2006, we hiked up to Swasey Lakes in the High Uintas Wilderness of Utah. This was the last trail we hiked in October before it got cold…actually, it had already gotten cold. But we only made it as far as the top of Long…
Hellroaring Creek
The Memorial Day weekend of May 27, 2006, Tracy and I went to Yellowstone again. The weather forecast was calling for lots of snow throughout Utah and southern Wyoming (and, yes, it was almost June), so we thought we would give Yellowstone a chance, because I was…
Cat Canyon
On April 15, 2006, Tracy and I headed to Cat Canyon in western Utah, just south of Delta. Having learned our lesson about early spring hikes in the Uintas, we decided to head to the desert mountains. I had read that mountain lions frequented this area, so…
Long Park
On October 22, 2005, Tracy and I hiked up to Long Park on the Swassey Hole Trail from the Center Park trailhead in the High Uintas Wilderness. We planned on hiking to Swasey Hole and the lakes there, but when we got to Long Park we just…
Alaska
In June 2005, Tracy and I went to Alaska. This was definitely one of those epic trips. We were there for two and a half weeks from June 17th to July 4th. When we first arrived in Anchorage, we took a bus down to Seward. From there…
Middle Prong Wilderness
In July 2004, Tracy and I hiked in the Middle Prong Wilderness of North Carolina. It was a great hike…even though we began to suspect that it always rains in the Middle Prong. We again camped up on a bald in the wilderness, and we just had…
Okefenokee
Here are some pictures from a trip we took to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia in May 2004. This was a three day canoe trip through the swamp. We had never done anything like this before, so it was a totally new experience. We saw…
Stratton Bald
In May 2004, Chris, Staci, Tracy and I backpacked up to Stratton Bald on the Tennessee and North Carolina state line…I think most of the bald is in North Carolina, but the trail runs the state line. Chris and I tried to explore the trail that runs…
