Some of my favorite hikes and trips: |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
| Mount Dana |
|
Rae Lakes Loop |
|
Mount Lewis |
| In August of 1998, we went on my first true test -- a 13,000 feet
peak in Tuolumne Meadows. Altitude, hail, and lightning could
not keep us from our goal. |
|
A 6-day backpacking trip into the heart of the Sierra with new
amazing views every day. |
|
Mount Lewis in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite. Not as high as Mount
Dana, but just as pretty -- if not more so. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
 |
|
Mount Tallac
|
|
Emigrant Wilderness
|
|
Mount Whitney |
| This was the first great hike. So far, it's also the prettiest,
with the most magnificent views of Lake Tahoe, Fallen Leaf Lake,
and surrounding peaks from the top. |
|
A 3-day backpacking trip in the Emigrant Wilderness. I've never
seen so many beautiful lakes so close together. |
|
This trip report includes some of the best hikes in Tuolumne Meadows
in Yosemite and an attempt on the highest peak in the United States
outside of Alaska. |

Seattle/Olympic/Rainier
|
|
Lassen Volcanic National Park
|
|
Zion/Bryce Canyon/Grand Canyon
|
| A 9-day trip to Seattle, including visits to the Hoh Rain Forest
in Olympic National Park, and hikes in Mount Rainier National
Park. |
|
This trip report includes a beautiful hike up Brokeoff Mountain,
and my first hike up a volcano.
|
|
Within a span of just a week we visited Zion, Bryce Canyon, and
Grand Canyon national parks. Zion was my favorite, as we did a
wonderful 3-day backpacking trip which left us feeling very isolated. |
