Hiking stats at a glance: Total Mileage = ~3.5 miles Elevation Gain = ~200 feet Trailhead = Big Tree Wayside These posts are beginning to get more and more delayed on account of real life busyness but I am determined to make sure they all get out into the world! After heading inland to check out Crater Lake amidst […]
After driving through literally almost 100 miles of smoke we arrived at the edges of Crater Lake National Park. Despite the smokey setting there will still quite a few cars coming and going from the park. As we drove in we stopped at a small overlook along the road before continuing on our way up to the rim of the […]
After leaving the Great State of Washington we continued on our way south through Oregon. At this point in the trip we had to decide whether we wanted to stay west along to coast or make our way inland. Originally the plan was to stay inland and stop in the Columbia River Gorge and Crater Lake National Park but the […]
Well it has been a while since I have posted any trip reports and that is because I have been pretty busy the last few months with planning the biggest adventure of my life.

Real life has been incredibly busy but things are starting to get back to a point where the adventure stories can begin rolling back out at a regular pace. So, lets get right to it. […]
After leaving Zabriskie Point we made our way over to the lowest point in North America, Badwater Basin. I have been here a couple of times before but this was actually the first time I had seen it so saturated with the recent rain fall. It was interesting to see such a typical dry place with so much standing water. […]
Unfortunately for us there was a big change in weather following our beautiful day in Palmer Canyon, but we weren’t going to let a little rain stop us from enjoying what Death Valley had to offer. I mean it IS Death Valley after all right? So, with the weather in mind we decided to spend the day checking out some […]
