I read your report. You have been so lucky to see Big Horn Sheep lately. When Sean and I went to Zion last year we weren't as fortunate as you to see much wildlife, however we had more time on our hands to explore Weeping Rock, swim through the narrows and hike up some awesome trails in the snow. Wh...

These are 3 peaks I have not conquered!
thanks for the update! Now, it may be alot easier for me

Beautiful fall colors!

Very nice Pics. My favs are the steep slope with the scree, the Rolling ridgeline and not to mention the orange glow from the sun.
I've been wanting to do Telescope Peak for a long time now, with or without Sean

cool creature!

Nice Report!
I agree with Uncle Rico. That pic of you tossing your son up in the air is great!

Nice pix! Love the buff's tail over the yellow guy line... Back when I could still pass a flight physical, I flew the family plane to Catalina more than 500 times over 40+ years. Did a lot of hiking there, including once from the airport down to White's Landing, stuck toe in ocean, then up to islan...

Seen these Island animals on my visit to Catalina last Tuesday I was approximately 50ft or so passing by this beast!

Thanks! It was quite the adventure!

Thanks Richard
It was a fun adventure!

Thanks Takewin
Yes my boys are on fire!

Today is my Birthday and I elected to hike another one of the Channnel Islands. The original plan was to go to Two Harbors, however the Catalina Express departing Long Beach Harbor only made stops to Avalon, on Tuesdays. So, in order to take advantage of the free birthday boat ride I was determined ...

Nice report on the Dry Lakes.
So sad to see so many dry lakes but very refreshing to see you enjoyed a cold one!

Great report and awesome pictures! Did you see our names in the register? I love falling rock canyon especially descending down the scree.
Btw, speaking of beers. You have to try Lagunitas Brewery in Azusa.

Nice Tr, but I already told you that

Damn! why cant people just leave registers alone! obviously these people have no respect for anything!
lots of people, including myself look forward to finding a register after climbing an awesome peak!

Nice pics as always. I did read your report on your other site. I like the cool swirls on the last picture!

Great trip and photos! I was just starting to research this. Did you do the skiff landing, and if so, were you able to keep your pack dry? Also, was a lot warmer once you got away from the beach? I think Uncle Rico does a pilgrimage to Santa Cruz every year. Hi takewin Yes I did the skiff boat. Tha...

On Saturday Morning I woke up at 4am preparing for my awesome adventure to the Santa Cruz Island, which is the largest of the group of the Channel Islands National Park. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/2020110/20161015_072933.jpg I set foot on the boat traveling to Sc...

It's interesting to see what hidden treasures you find and wow!
you found a Johnson & Johnson industrial first aid kit. I wonder how old that it? I work for J & J never seen one of those lol
A cool report!
Nice sunrise picture!
Did you climb up the tree house? I would have

Wow! What a sweet find! I'm always interested in those hidden mines because you can find some real treasures! I'm wondering about the cyanide though hmmmm?

Nice report and Pictures!

It was lots of fun going up and down, up and down,
the only bad part was that damn thick thorny brush that scratched my beautiful legs!

nice report
one of the coolest peaks I've hiked!

Nice report!. The new signs are great! Unfortunately, hikers still get lost but I suppose if everyone could afford a GPS unit, pay attention to signs, or really study maps like one nerd I know, lol then no one would be lost. However, it does happen to the best of us!

I love the sunrise pics

Hi Richard
I hiked Mosquito flats a few weeks ago. My favorite lake was Heart lake. Mono pass is pretty awesome as well.
Great pics!

PSSSSS
I Would love to climb the Watchtower! It looks freakin awesome!

Ginormous is good! brings out the beautiful colors in your pics and they are great! I enjoyed reading your trip report

HAHA!!
That's the same bear!
