The Big Thaw in the Northern Sierra is Happening!

While the blazing sun is lighting our hair on fire in the Valley, there is still quite a bit of lingering snow in the high country. Here’s a short clip of me and my hiking buddy John on our little romp in the slushy snow heading towards Peter Grubb Hut. It was slow-moving, but we had a ton of fun and out of the heat. Snow will probably be mostly gone in a couple of weeks.

2018 The year of Peak Bagging

As I was training for a big Pacific Crest Trail section hike, I decided to see how many mountains I could get to the top of! The section hike was cancelled because of forest fires, so I continued to climb peaks. I hope to climb even more peaks next year! I have new goals!
