Has anyone done any hiking in Shenandoah NP and/or surrounding area? Looking for any info (and hopefully photos) on your favorite hikes. Thanks.

Attention-starved d-bag. Two happy outcomes of this story would have been: (1) Someone passing by takes a picture/video of him and it accidentally finds it's way onto the internet, (2) A nice man is hiking with his 7-year-old daughter and passes by, and the nice man punches the nude hiker in...

I bought a pair of Columbia Ice Crushers (or Ice Dragons, not sure) winter hiking boots in 2006. This past winter the upper leather ripped away from the rubber rand. Although these boots were 8 years old, I had only done about 15-20 winter hikes (real life always gets in the way of winter...

Photo #21 is outstanding.

A bear was backpacking?

Not too common, but we do have them here in RI. Mostly in the northwestern part of the state but last year there was one in the southern part of the state (see link). http://www.turnto10.com/story/21985564/bear-sighted-in-north-kingstown-targets-chicken-coops

Imagine being in the room with this guy and his insurance underwriter during his application interview for life insurance.

Does anyone have first-hand knowledge (and maybe photos) of the status of the foliage in the Mt Holyoke area? Thanks.

In Acadia a few years ago, I spoke briefly with a guy who grew up and lived most of his life in Millinocket and had recently moved to the Bar Harbor area. I mentioned it must've been awesome growing up next door to Baxter State Park. He replied, "Have you ever heard the phrase 'Familiarity...

That 1957 and 2014 photo comparison is absolutely one of the coolest things I have ever ever seen on this site. Simply awesome.

Now THAT is how to make a hiking video. Specifically here's what I liked: - Good choice of music....it fit the hike nicely - Good job editing (clips were chopped to a good 5-8 second length, with smooth transitions from scene to scene) - Nice mix of still photos and video - Steady hand on the...

Jonathan, great photos as always. Two questions: 1) Photo 8. Fascinating...I kept staring at it. I'm used to seeing shallow depth of field from front-to-back, but not from top-to-bottom :). Really cool shot. How did you pull that off? 2) Photo 10. How did you manage a 30 second exposure...

Trying to save part of a track log. --Hit save track log......success. --"Do you want to save entire track?".....I choose "no".............success. --GPS tells me to select beginning point for saved track......I choose the point and click Enter........success, GPS accepts my selection. --GPS...

I wish I had the free time to even consider doing the grid......but then again, maybe I don't. And I can't imagine even considering doing Owl's Head in April unless Jessica Alba was waiting at the top.

This site's Photography forum has an inch of dust on it, so this is going here. The game is simple. First person posts a photo that "begins" with the letter "A". Next person posts a B photo, etc. Tell us something about the photo...not just "this is Mt Eisenhower". Tell us something...

cooking area (as of a few years ago) good idea to follow this...not just for yourself but also for the campers who will be there after you typical tent pad I could never make sense of the actual 13 falls themselves.......just seems like a bunch of random small cascades. Such a remote...

The AMC huts are a complete and utter travesty..............except for when I need water, temporary shelter from a storm, a bathroom, or some of those free leftover pancakes that can often be scored at 10am'ish..........funny, but my indignation takes a holiday at those times. Go figure.

I agree. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a video is worth about 10 thousand. Check out youtube. I've seen many great gulf and king ravine videos there. With the go-pro epidemic, as well as the quality of cell phone video and point-n-shoot video, there are some pretty good videos...

Once, my wife and I are on a lightly used trail (Carrigan Notch Trail or Desolation Trail, something like that) and she has to go. I tell her "there isn't much traffic, you don't have to go out of eye-sight, just step off the trail 10-15 feet, I'll stand guard for you, etc". So she makes the...
