TRIP REPORT: Cedar Breaks National Monument – Utah, 8-15-15

August 27, 2015 Leave a Comment

Stav and I decided that the day after our Narrows hike would be a rest day but being the restless soul that I am I was not content to just hang out in town all day! So after a lazy morning I headed out for a hearty breakfast at Denny’s and while there I looked at a map of the […]

August 18, 2015 1 Comment

The south rim of Grand Canyon National Park was the next stop on our trip after completing Mt. Whitney on August 10th.

Badwater Basin – Death Valley National Park, CA 8-9-15

August 12, 2015 Leave a Comment

This was my second trip into Death Valley, California and I have to say this is one place which never disappoints.

Gearing Up For Adventure – New Jersey, 8-4-15

August 5, 2015 Leave a Comment

Normally when it comes to outdoor trips I only need to pack enough gear for a few days at a time and also have the luxury of my own car to work with so space is never an issue. My motto in these situations is “if it fits, it ships” and as a result I will take anything and everything I think […]
