Nice trip report. It makes be think about using a guide at some point, I usually overplan to the point of insanity. I am glad you were able to find relief from the heat here and there. Cheers!

And, hopefully, a small grain of internal change, as your soul resonates with this colorful blur.

My wife, daughter, and I hiked to wonderful peak with a trailhead 12 minutes from our house. The sky was wiped clean by recent rains and the smell of damp sage was intoxicating. Cheers, and Happy New Year.

Re: Adventure-Inspired®: The Outdoor World is Crowded, but That's Not All Bad

I recommend waking up well before dawn and hike the first few miles in the dark. You'll have it to yourself and the sunrise will leave you breathless.

Thanks for sharing this. My omniten experience lacked that outdoor adventure element that the other seasons did. We didn't have much time to get to know each other before it turned into a competition. My flu didn't help. At the end of the week, tears filled my eyes as we all packed and departed Park City, sad at the lost opportunity. I knew I would not see many of the crew again, and I certainly knew I wasn't going to be making it to Jordan. But I am happy about what I actually did experience through the fog of the flu, and I am slowly re-meeting my omniten family, as they visit SoCal and visit my restaurant, and as I travel around the states. One of these days, we'll have to meet again. Cheers, Derek

Sierra salve. How perfect is that? As always, a resonating treat to read.

Nice. Have totally been there in that state of "remember this." Many, many times.

And then you notice that other peak from the one you just climbed. "But what does it look like from over there?" you ask yourself. And the cycle continues. Thanks for sharing. You've captured it well.

I like that the word usability appears more than once in this article. Keep up it, Coleman.

Awesome showing. Being happy is pretty important, IMHO.

I love this. I will keep this in mind when I finally get to a point to do this myself.

So very cool! Glad that being on of the Omniten keeps having some perks!

This is definitely on my bucket list and I can't wait to read the rest. I am really excited to try the new Pho and see if it's legit. My wife is Vietnamese and I have been assimilated into her gigantic family for almost 30 years.

Long time lurker here. Awesome job. Just to attempt this make this a success in my book. Must have been nice to see the valley start glowing at dawn. Again, congratulations on not dying. :)

Josh, the drone footage was great. I haven't seen the trestle from those angles before. Supercool

That's the best! What a great way to celebrate. The miner's cabin looked like one to remember.

We have started a trend to head somewhere tropical. Oahu last year, Maui this year.

Congrats! I wish I had time a few weeks ago to bag some peaks, but 40 miles in 4 days was needed to deliver beer and tacos. That was enough for me without side trips to peaks. Though Chocolate Peak is really begging to be bagged from the Bishop Pass Trail...

Re: Cirque Peak (12,900′) Attempt…and More Storms

100Peaks — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 13:32:14 -0000

Last summer, I struggled to see Cirque Peak through the rain from the trail to the SW from Chicken Spring Lake. I had researched slogging it up from that side, as I had taken some tenderfoots to the lake and left them there while I was going to bag a peak. It ended up raining 11 hours that day. Needless to say, Cirque is still on my list and we got off the mountain that day, since all the campsites were rapidly become ponds.

Re: Eastern Sierra Over Memorial Day: Thor’s First Camping Trip!

100Peaks — Fri, 06 Jun 2014 12:53:49 -0000

Good for Thor! I just went on a weekend trip with my little guy and he didn't fare as well. He whined the whole drive, whined while I played with my daughter, had to be leashed since there was poison oak (can't be free of it here in Los Padres), got frightened of other off-leash dogs, and woke up barking every two hours during the night (and we slept in the car!). Perhaps if I take him somewhere more remote without poison oak, that would work better to wear him out.
