What a great day! My alarm went off at 3:30 am and I was on the trail at St. Huberts shortly after 7:00. The morning was cool but pleasant. The trip up the Lake Road was quick and easy and I only had two cars drive by me! The trail up to the Sawteeth/Gothics col is such a moderate grade, it...

I don't read guilt in the posts but I do see defensiveness. It seems to me that some folks seem to have the belief that peakbaggers aren't hiking their own hike, or are owned by the list and therefor can't possibly be enjoying it! These comments often come out as an "ism." So, we respond to...

Drove up to Maine to join Hikethe115 (aka M&M) on her AT finish (see post here) and decided to finish my 115 at the same time. On Sunday (Sept 16) HarryK and I started off from the Marsten trailhead (having stayed at the Big Moose Inn... poor service and over-priced!) a little later than I was...

An amazing woman, an amazing day I had the honor of bringing Dawn's son to her finish and along with HarryK we had the priviledge of joining her, Pootz, Evil-eye, TomB and other At thru-hikers (including a triple-crowner!) on their finishes. It was a perfect day! We took the Hunt trail...

my 2 cents I just got back from an "out west" trip. Bryce Canyon was SPECTACULAR, (see attached picture) but not a place you would spend more than a day or two. I fell in love with the high Unitas in Utah. I did a 3 day backpack to King's peak (TR here) and was very alone but did have moose...

Most excellant! :D :D

Just got back from an amazing trip out west, the highpoint of which was a 3-day back-pack to King's Peak, Utah's highpoint. The journal I kept of the trip is over 30 pages long. I won't bore you with all the details, but I thought I'd share the wonderful experience I had on KP. But first...

It's not too late:D! But you still have others to get... How many do you have left?

Woooo Hoooo... Congrats! Glad to have been on some of the ADK's, some of the Cats, and a few of those silly mountains out West with you! Here's to the next bunch of silly peaks...

Thanks for the TR Jay. It was such a beautiful day. Ajtiv and I both felt like the climb up Gray got longer since the last time we hiked it :D. I hadn't been up Marcy from Skylight before. It was amazing! The views just went on and on. It was great that we did Marcy last so we had some solo...

Thanks Spence and Maddy. Great time! Wish I could have stayed longer but the other side of life calls sometimes:(. It was great to catch up with folks and meet some new ones. I got thrown off by funkyfreddy and his beard! Took me a minute to recognize him:o! I did get to see some of the...

I'm also planning Humphrey's and Wheeler (and as many Colorado 14ers as time will allow). I've done Boundary, Elbert, Whitney and Hood so if you want any first hand info on those, feel free to PM me. I have checked out SummitPost, there's often good stuff there!

I'm heading out west in a couple of weeks and have a very aggressive peak bagging trip planned :D:D:D. One of those is Kings Peak (Utah's high point). I've done the research, read the books and trip reports, have ordered my map but just wondering if anyone here can share some first hand...

Simply amazing... I am in awe at the physical and mental strength involved in completing this hike! And your trip report is very humbly written. One might read it and think the day was a breeze. (Please don't tell me it felt like a breeze... I wanna believe you sufferd at least a little:D)

I'll be coming in Saturday evening (after the Skylight, Gray, Marcy hike) with a big pot of chili:D. I would like to bring a newbie but she doesn't post here, she just "peaks." Are lurkers allowed? :)

Tempting... very tempting. But I'd need lots of naps along the way;)!

I can't keep up with Jay either, but I'll be doing this loop. Hopefully the weather will be helpful! I don't know what rreport Jay read but weather.com is calling for thunderstorms this weekend:(.

SWEET! :D I am jealous... I recently moved away from the Catskills and miss them terribly:(.

Great job on the TR Matt. It was a really nice mini-vacation. The Abraham/Ellen hike turned out to be a bigger day than I anticipated but worth it! One wierd thing...We walked into the warming hut on Lincoln and it was clear someone has been hanging out there. There was quite a bit of food...

Sorry, I can't answer your questions directly, but I can tell you that Sequoia National Park is an amazing place! Some of the "tourist" spots are worth dealing with the crowds to see. You must see General Sherman, General Grant and do the climb up the side of Morro Rock. Supposedly, on a...
