Awesome! Congrats to Mike!

What way do you plan to drive? Are you looking for hiking closer to PA or would consider stopping at places along your drive? Haven't hiked in the PA/NJ region, but live in the Hudson Valley (the AT is close by). If you pass through this area on your way there, there are some nice hikes...

Conditions have to be really brutal up there. To even set up that day 5 Dr. D he needs Carrigan, Tris, Whiteface, and Pass today. That's 32 miles left for today, and it looks like he is town (Lincoln) right now after the Osceloa's and Hancocks. I am really pulling for him, but man, it must be...

I read the book a few years ago and while it was impressive, I was skeptical about sections (I can't remember specifics). I did look up some info online (where we know everything is real, right? :P ) and it solidified some of my doubts. Should make for an interesting movie though.

Another Ergo user here (on our second Ergo and who knows how many miels - Norah's been everywhere in that thing). Norah was born in November and we didn't start any real hiking until the spring. By that time she had good head control and we used the Ergo as a backpack (it can also be a front...

Congratulations! With a 3 year old daughter, I'd be interested to read it/read it to her - keep us posted. :)

It was really hard to narrow down, but here are ten (in no particular order): Somes Sound, Maine Joshua Tree National Park, CA Before a storm, Beartooth Mountains, Montana Norah the Polar Explorer in the Beartooths, Montana Sunrise in the Beartooths, Montana Morning mist on...

Wow, great photos everybody! And I love seeing all the pictures with the kids in them. :) DSettahr, especially love your winter pictures. Tim, my fave is the Crawford Path picture. Mahony, love the animal shots - especially the beaver - great shot! Nice views Tom. DiamondRidge, awesome...

Wow! Amazing pictures and trip. Nepal is number on my wish list, but it will be awhile before we get there. :( Thanks for sharing!

We were in the LA area in February and we really enjoyed our visit to Joshua Tree. Steve also spent three days in Death Valley and liked that as well. In Joshua Tree we didn't do as much hiking - more seeing the sights. We did hike Ryan Mountain, but there were few people and I liked it. Our...

I'm interested in seeing the movie, but will probably have to wait for Netflix (our "movies seen in theater" number dropped to about one once Norah was born :p). I read Entertainment Weekly and the movie has good buzz. It's shown at several film festivals to positive reviews and has even been...

Unfortunately, we can't make it (Steve's parents are in town, plus Halloween activities for Norah). Have a fun weekend!

I love fall and seeing everybody's pictures. Grouseking, beautiful colors. Technetium, gorgeous picture and good job with the lighting (I think typically a scene like this it's easy to blow the highlights or lose detail in the shadows). You mentioned a lot of time post processing - what...

This is a great resource. Reflecting on all the great accomplishments listed above, the MacPhail Hut Traverse absolutely astounds me. He did the harder yesteryear Hut Traverse that includes the Wildcats, and still threw down in 12 hours. That is like maintaining FARMER and Jan's record Presi...

Ooooh, us! Our daughter turns three in November and while she loves being outdoors/hiking (we still carry her most of the time, but she is hiking more on her own now), we keep saying how we'd like to arrange hikes with other kids. Where do you hike most of the time? We live in the Hudson...

JohnL, that's a very cool picture and Taconic's edit really makes it pop. I haven't tried the channel mixer on a conversion - thanks for the tip. Typically, just desaturation will leave a picture a little flat or dull, so you need some extra tweaks to liven it up. This was a picture I took in...

Thanks Tom. Billy, good eye. :p The book has two stories so while they are reading one story, from that side you see the upside down cover of the other story.

We had such a great time in the Beartooths last year that we returned again this August for a two week vacation. Last year we originally chose the location as it was convenient to meet my parents (~ eight hour drive for them from northwest Nebraska) and Cooke City, nestled in the Beartooth...

Great pics! Nice clouds in the panorama shots. Looks like you had a perfect day for the hike. And your menu sounds delicious. We did the Traveler Loop three years ago on a trip to Baxter after Labor Day (barely - once the ranger found out I was seven months pregnant I thought he was going...

Great set of pics! Looks like it was a good trip. Nice to know the backcountry isn't overrun with people like the frontcountry is.
