From August 30, 2012 to September 3, 2012, Chris, Paul, and I took a four day backpacking trip in the Weminuche Wilderness in Colorado. We originally planned to do five days on the trail, but, as many longer trips usually go, the plan was modified as we…
On August 23, 2012, Tracy and I had planned to take a three day weekend to hike a 14er in Colorado. However, Tracy was pretty shot from the weekend before at Spider Lake, and I had a long trip planned for the next weekend, so we decided…
The weekend of 18 Aug 12, Tracy and I took a couple of friends up to Spider Lake in the Uintas. I have never hiked past Swasey Lakes on this trail, and the hike to Spider was close to 10 miles, but I figured it would be…
On July 25, 2012, Benjy flew out and we took a trip to Cirque of the Towers in the Wind River Range. Of course, for Benjy this was a climbing trip, but I convinced him to spend a couple of days backpacking with me. I had never…

The weekend of June 23, 2012, Tracy and I went to check out the road over Union Pass in Wyoming. Somehow we had never been up this road, so I really wanted to check it out. The ranger station told us there was still an impassable snow…
The long weekend of January 13, 2012, Tracy and I made a trip up to Yellowstone. We’ve just about decided that we don’t like making the really long drive up there in the winter, but I had gotten a new spotting scope for Christmas, and I wanted…
These are photos from weekends in 2012 that I just didn’t think warranted their own trip report, but I still wanted to share the pictures. Fall in the Uintas, UT – September 22, 2012 McCoy Park, UT – September 7, 2012 Popo Agie Wilderness, WY…
