Day hike to look for mushrooms and views. No mushrooms and a tough scramble to Sedum Point, which would have been a lot easier with different footwear. (I was wearing trail runners with worn tread).

Notes: Miles and EG are estimates, as we were not carrying GPS and we had three different map sets, none of which matched each other, in terms of mileage date, or any of the signage along our route. Actual EG estimation is around 51,000'. The Rough Fire was at about 30,000 acres and 0% containment when we started hiking. The closest we were to it, at any giv...

When we originally planned what is turning into an annual Yosemite trip, we were hoping to spend the weekend skiing out of Badger Pass. The weather this year had other ideas, so we hiked up to a nearly snowless Sentinal Dome. We started at Yosemite Valley Lodge, traversing the meadow on one of the boardwalks, then passing the Valley Chapel on the way to the ...

Needed to get a 20 miler in today, so we headed east to get a break from the rain in PDX. We ran an out and back to the Harris Homestead. We were on the trail at 9:30am, and didn't see any others until we were a few miles from the TH on our return. Skies stayed overcast, but it was perfect running weather. Not sure what the correct EG is, since my GPS watch ...

Summer like hiking in January! Training for a spring marathon has left me with limited time to hike. Thus, we had been planning on a January 25th hike for weeks. I could not have asked for a better day. The day started off pretty rough. I was coming off a cold from the week before and didn't eat much for breakfast, since I lost my spoon somewhere between hom...

Been missing the trails recently, as my winter focus has been more on running than hiking. Sunday I had the opportunity to join friends for a trail run in and around Battle Ground Lake State Park. We ran the outer equestrian trail, upper lake loop, and lower lake loop within the park. Around the park, we ran the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad Trail.
