Ah, yes, good old EW15. Great panoramic views from that one.

There's now a button on the top-right.

Apparently this lemon lily is a rare species. Found up at Crystal Lake.

While hiking around Crystal Lake, Jeff found a quarter.
He also found a mouthpiece.
And a bicycle.
They're his now, except for the bike, which we left in case the kid returned for it.

This past week I've managed to clear most of the vegetation on the trail to Bailey Canyon Falls. It's a short trail. The tread needs a lot more work which I'll try to get to this week and next. But it's worth the 30 minutes or so to go see the falls which, surprisingly to me, are still flowing well ...

Aloha, anyone here climb technical rock? I like hiking and all that, but really dig the high alpine stuff and long multi pitches. I can lead trad 10s and follow harder. I live in Venice and often climb at cliffs of id and can easily take fri-sun for trips. Would love to get up on more high sierra ro...

I conned Sean into doing a survey of this route today. We'll see if any of his ideas ever get implemented! lol
Seriously - thanks to Sean for giving me some really good ideas and tips.

The tradition is to skinny dip in the lake, you will need to go back.

Another section that we re-routed to get the trail away from the creek bed.

Old trail followed creek bed on left, new trail on right.

This has been a random thought on my mind for a bit. When people think about hiking, they usually think in terms of physical endurance. Rightly so. It is a physical activity, walking with whatever degree of distance and gain. I haven't turned back many times due to physical endurance, although it ha...

I made an unsuccessful attempt at Frankish peak last Friday (30AUG24) morning around 0730. Stoddard has become a somewhat regular before-work run as it's shaded, has pretty views, and is a quick drive from my home. On a recent run, I found myself curious about the Barrett Stoddard Truck Trail's cont...
