I started the Hot Springs Trail (2400 miles) on May 8th, at Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara. It's been a wild 18 days and 304 miles so far, and while some of the trail was unpleasant (the day before I-5), all six of the hot springs I visited were great!

A short day hike....but with my full pack weight, to help get me prepared for my upcoming long distance hike next month. A beautiful and unseasonably warm day in the Columbia River Gorge!

Another great year at Winter Mountaineering School! @adkwinterschool.bsky.social
It was snowy, cold, and a good challenge to my leadership skills. See you next year, Adirondacks! ✌️

I've flown out of Denver dozens of times, but never on a Boeing 767. Huuuuge, fuccillo-sized #delta plane

Short weekday hikes with long views.

A little weekend backpacking trip to somewhere dry, the land of juniper, sage, and volcanic rocks. The cloudy night was a relatively warm 41F/5C, perfect for camping. Enjoy our public lands while they're still here.
