Stories of my travels to the tops of mountains and the bottoms of reefs.
Reading Time: 21 minutes This hike uses the popular Glacier Trail ingress to Dinwoody Basin. It’s arid, strenuous, and has a beautiful payoff, but few trails will make you work for it as hard as this one.
Reading Time: 34 minutes This hike features stunning scenery and incredible history, but I have suggestions on how you can make it far more worthwhile. My favorite part is the crashed B24 bomber.
Reading Time: 14 minutes I didn’t like this hike. It’s long, winding, not made for easy walking, exposed to the sun, dusty, arid, and with terrible views. Its only redeeming feature is the fishing (maybe), which went poorly for me. I didn’t HATE it, which implies actively wishing it to never exist, but I’d certainly never do it again, and you shouldn’t do it in the first place.
Reading Time: 35 minutes The hike to Titcomb Basin results in great views, but I feel like it’s quite a bit of effort for a crowded, one-trick pony.

Reading Time: 5 minutes A quick review of an un-mapped (doesn’t exist in any literature) campground and some videos of a fun time!
Reading Time: 4 minutes A fateful trip. The cabins were great, though!
Reading Time: 5 minutes Reviews of numerous things in and around Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.
Reading Time: 7 minutes Green River Lakes Campground is over an hour from Pinedale, Wyoming, on a dirt road, and features semi-improved camping locations both for reservation and for first-come, first serve. It has incredible views of Squaretop Mountain, and many people use the Green River trailhead to hike the Wind River Range. The…
Reading Time: 45 minutes This hike to Middle Fork and Sonnicant Lake basins features the prettiest scenery I’ve ever encountered. You’ll find numerous lakes, an altiplano, fishing, and rugged mountains, plus an unusual summit.
Reading Time: 82 minutes This hike is an absolute blast, featuring Leg Lake, Stough Creek Basin, Poison, Mountain Sheep, Coon, Tayo, and Deep Creek Lakes, plus a summit of Wind River Peak. It is the the favorite hike of my life to date.
