    Little Bear and the Little Bear-Blanca traverse. Taken from the summit of Blanca Peak. This is one of Colorado's 'classic traverses', I'd like to try one someday!

    Hiking with smoke

    I don't like hiking when it's smokey but it seems more and more common. It smells and it messes up your pictures.

    How many mountains have you climbed?

    I love hiking in the mountains! This is a picture of me climbing South Arapahoe Peak. It's just a bunch of really steep hiking until you get to the summit, and then you turn around and go back the way you came. I've never hiked in the mountains in the winter, I'd like to sometime.

    Last Hike of 2024

    My last hike in 2024 was the Hoosier's Hidden Hikes wilderness exploration group hike. We explored a section of Hoosier National Forest that isn't in the guidebook. We found cave formations growing in a rock shelter and a couple other nice spots. It was about a 7 mile hike.

    What natural wonders have you hiked that you rate as one of the best in state?

    Saltshake Rock is very close to HNF, OnX shows it being on the edge. Whoever owns it doesn't mark the boundary, no purple paint or signs.

    Should Solo Hiking and Backpacking Be Discouraged for Safety Reasons?

    I like being alone in the woods, it's given me a lot of freedom to explore where I want to go. I did a group hike last year, and I'm doing another one this year. Maybe I'll do more.

    Hiking Trail Recommendations in California & San Diego

    Mt. Whitney is the highest mountain in the contiguous United States, Mt. Shasta is a 14er too. I've heard class 3 is harder in California than in Colorado.
