Mount Everts Loop (Yellowstone NP) - May 2026
Wasn't sure we were going to make our usual 'end of school' trip up to Yellowstone this year, but glad we did. Grabbed a last second site at the Mammoth CG...
Wolverine Peak (Yellowstone NP) - August 2025
I had a planned trip to the Beartooths and noticed @shredhiker's Meet Up post - it seemed too convenient not to jump on board. Just had to leave my house a day earlier than planned...
Slough Creek & Buffalo Plateau (Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness & Yellowstone NP) - September 2025
Another great trip! And I may have finally not been lying to my brother when I said, "This one will be more relaxed than last year." Only about 52 miles and...
Beartooth Pass to Cooke City (Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness) - August 2025
Another great trip this summer and finally got to spend a few days exploring the Beartooths! After my hiking buddy's injury in the Absarokas the plan for...
Hidden Eagle Traverse (Teton/Washakie Wilderness & Yellowstone NP) - July 2025
Pretty arbitrary name for a trip report, but this one is all over the place with plenty of highs and lows - of both the literal and metaphorical varieties...
Jicarita Creek (Pecos Wilderness) - June 2025
Last year I got a group of my college buddies to bring their kids up to Wyoming for a great backpacking trip in the Winds. (Very similar to this trip I did...
A Couple of Days in Hayden Valley (Yellowstone NP) - June 2025
I've been lucky to get up to the GYE a couple of times already this summer - a couple weeks ago we enjoyed some smaller hikes near our campground and mostly...
Lamar River, Mirror Plateau, & Pelican Valley (Yellowstone NP) - September 2024
This is a pretty similar trip to one I did with my brother back in 2020, so I'll keep the exposition fairly brief. (See that trip report here.) If we limit...
Colorado's Chinese Wall & the Devil's Causeway (Flat Tops Wilderness) - June 2024
I don't know that this one would normally merit such a belated trip report, but when looking through the year's hiking photos I realized I had already...
Truchas Traverse (Pecos Wilderness) - June 2024
Way behind on my 2024 trip reports, but hoping to remedy that over the next few weeks (or months 😂). Here's one from earlier in the season w/ @Nethos...
Northern Wind River & Bastion Peak (Bridger/Fitzpatrick Wilderness) - July 2024
It's been a while since I've posted a trip report - and there's a few worthy trips that precede this one I'd still like to write up at some point...
Ortenburger Lake, Talus Lake, & Glacier Peak (Grand Teton NP) - October 2023
With a little bit of luck I found myself with a long weekend available and a beautiful weather window - so I decided to get one more good mountain trip in...
Bob Marshall Wilderness - September 2023
I've been trying to get out to the Bob Marshall Wilderness for a number of years now - I'm happy to say I finally made it. For the third year in a row, I...
Dana Meadows to Twin Lakes via the High Route (Yosemite/Hoover Wilderness) - August 2023
This was a pretty fantastic trip though a number of things didn't go as originally planned. First of all, the much higher snowpack in the Sierra Nevada this...
Silas Canyon (Popo Agie Wilderness) - August 2023
This year - for the first time - my oldest son joined my brother and I on our yearly "guys trip". Obviously we cut down the intensity a lot from our normal...
Southern Absaroka & Thorofare Mountain (Teton/Washakie Wilderness) - July 2023
So after last year's trip to Younts Peak, I joined some friends in the Sierra Nevada and apparently couldn't shut up about the Absarokas - so they decided...
Ecuador Mountaineering: Cayambe, Antisana, & Chimborazo - June 2023
I'm not even sure where to start with this one... I've been back in the States for almost two weeks and I still haven't fully processed it. For a few years...
Northern Yellowstone NP - January 2023
Made it up to Yellowstone for another (semi) annual winter trip. This one didn't go quite as planned - the forecast was not great, so I knew I'd need to be...
Black Lake (Rocky Mountain NP) - January 2023
Another day trip to Rocky Mountain NP. I'll keep this one short, since about the first 50% overlaps with my Sky Pond report from last week and conditions...
Sky Pond (Rocky Mountain NP) - January 2023
As part of my resolve to get out for more day hikes locally, I'm going to try to post a few more trip reports. We'll see if I can keep it up. (Plus...
Pitchstone/Bechler Loop (Yellowstone NP) - September 2022
Well, after dragging my brother up Yellowstone Point and beating him up a bit last year, I promised him a more laid back trip this year - but not too laid...
Red's Meadow to Tuolumne Meadows via the High Route (Ansel Adams/Yosemite Wilderness) - August 2022
On an invite from a good friend, I headed out to the Sierra Nevada for the first time in a few years. I was really excited for this one - the Sierra doesn't...
Younts Peak (Teton/Washakie Wilderness) - July 2022
Ever since last year's trip through the Southern Absaroka, I've been itching to give Younts Peak another shot. Being the not very patient man I am, I made...
Northern Wind River Traverse (Bridger/Fitzpatrick Wilderness) - September 2021
This was a fantastic trip and finally got me up into a section of the Winds I'd been looking to visit for years. Originally planned as a loop from Green...
Southern Absaroka Loop (Teton/Washakie Wilderness) - August 2021
I'd been looking forward to this trip for quite a while and it was great to finally get out there and do it. The goal was primarily just to get a good look...
Horse Ridge to Mount Febbas (Fitzpatrick Wilderness) - July 2021
I'd put together a little "bonus" Wind River trip when laying out my longer trip coming up this September and wasn't sure when/if I'd get a chance to do it...
Gros Ventre Wilderness - June 2021
After returning from Idaho/Wyoming with the family after Memorial Day weekend, we passed through the Gros Ventre Wilderness and stopped for a...
Bowen-Baker Loop (Never Summer Wilderness) - June 2020
Getting started on my summer trips for 2021 made me think about my first trip last year, which was a quick two-nighter in the Never Summer Wilderness. It's...
NW Wind River Range (Bridger Wilderness) - August 2020
I've only got one more annual trip w/ my brother to post, so I figured I'd start adding some of my solo trips. (For now I'm refraining from posting trip...
Upper Toklat River (Denali NP) - August 2018
I'm continuing my effort to document some previous trips here and I figure I'll keep working backwards on my yearly trips w/ my brother to get started...
Southeast Yellowstone Loop (Yellowstone NP) - September 2019
This is a trip from a couple years ago, but one I've referenced in a number of my comments so I thought I'd go ahead and post a trip report. Being a couple...
Lamar River, Mirror Plateau, & Pelican Valley (Yellowstone NP) - September 2020
I really want to get better about posting some trips reports here, but I figured I should at least post this one and include thanks to @scatman and...
