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…

Panthertown Valley
In February 2004 we took a really cold backpacking trip into Panthertown. We had spent the past couple of years braving the Colorado winters, and I figured we wouldn’t have any problems backpacking in North Carolina in February. But, man, humidity makes it feel so much colder. …
Middle Prong Wilderness
In September 2003, we had an eventful trip to the Middle Prong Wilderness. We hiked in to a bald and pitched camp. Tracy left her backpack at the camp, and then we kept on hiking down the trail. After about 30 minutes, it started pouring down rain…
West Elk
In January 2003, after hiking around Mt Sneffels, we ended up driving up to the West Elk Wilderness. We decided to try our hand at snow camping out there. We hiked in a couple of miles, and then tried to dig a camp out of the 5…
Buffalo Peaks Wilderness
In September 2002 I did a solo trip up to Buffalo Peaks by myself and camped out, with the whole valley to myself. When I got up the morning, South Park, far below me, was covered in clouds. It was a great experience to look out over…
