    Falling while hiking

    I slipped and fell on the 'hourglass ridge' portion of Mt. Alice, and I was very lucky I didn't fall off the ridge or hurt myself. It was really scary but it didn't make me want to stop hiking.

    We found another arch in HNF yesterday, it's one of the nicer ones that I've seen in Indiana. It was a cold day for off trail hiking!

    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.

    First hike of 2025?

    Saalman Hollow was my 1st hike this year, 6 miles through 3 beautiful ravines. This was a "Hoosier Hidden group hike", they're a lot of fun! Cresent Cave Sulfur arch Saalman Double falls Otis Saalman signature, 1929?

    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.
