Latest Outdoor Trips

Mt. Sherman

Mt. Sherman, a 14er outside of Leadville, CO is often referred to as a good first 14er. A few of us decided to go hang out in Leadville last June and bag a couple of these nearby 14ers and see what else we could get into while in the area. Due to the relative ease of Mt. Sherman, there are quite a few trip reports out there, so I will save you ...

Nantahala AT

Somehow the stars aligned and six of us set out for a 30 mile jaunt through the Nantahala Forest. We parked our cars at the Nantahala Outdoor Center and hitched a shuttle to Rock Gap from a retired NWA wrestler that used to go by "Cubby Carlisle." I have used three people to shuttle me in that area and Cobby may have been the most memorable ...

Park City, Utah

As long as the winter budget doesn't take an unexpected hit, a slope adventure is always on the agenda. This year we checked out Park City, Utah. The small renewed mining town is actually a little on the rich tourist side, but the amount of slopes nearby and the scenery is amazing. We found a couple of breweries and nice restaurants for the ...

Utah Snowmobiling

On a recent trip to Utah, we decided to give our ski legs a break and try something new. Snowshoeing sounded fun, but a little too much like work so we decided to give the snowmobiles a run. We learned that a lot of places offered riding around in fields, but one place (Thousand Peaks) offered 60,000 acres, situated in a huge valley. We followed a ...

Mendenhall Glacier

On a recent trip to Alaska, we hoppped off the big boat in Juneau with our sights set on the big chunk of ice called Mendenhall Glacier. This glacier has been retreating since the early 1900's and the visitors center sits where the glacier had once advanced. There is a small stream and a couple of small hiking trails right around the visitors ...

Porcupine Rim, Moab

Porcupine Rim, just outside of Moab, is almost as much of a rite of passage as the well known Slickrock Trail. It is often voted "favorite trail" among Moab visitors and now I can see why. I was testing/renting a Yeti 575 on the day we rode the Rim and the 5" travel, beefy bike was a perfect match for the trail. It is possible to ride from ...

Timberline

The wife and I were invited to go along on a ski/snowboard annual event this year. I am lucky that my wife's best friend is getting married to a snowboarder, firefighter, skier, because she has dated some real losers (which I get stuck hanging out with). Anyway, Timberline is about an hour away from Snowshoe. There are actually a few smaller ...

Bourbon Festival Adventure Race

I decided to give the first annual Bardstown Adventure Race a try. I figured it would be fun and a good warm up for the Jailbreak. Since it started at the airport, the first two miles of the run were on a tarmac. It then headed onto a gravel road and then a double track trail in the woods. Since it had been raining off and on some the parts of the ...

Dupont State Park

A recent trip to Dupont State Park was just what I needed to remind me why I love mountain biking. This fairly small state park is situated south of Pisgah National Forest. It is so small and relatively new that you might have a hard time finding directions, but there is a good website that we used for trail descriptions, trailheads, etc. We ...

Lake Tahoe

I have been wanting to hit slopes out west for a long time now, so we decided to head out. The other couple going wih us had just got back from Denver, so we decided on Lake Tahoe. For those who haven't been, you must see this place. We stayed in Truckee, CA near the Northstar Resort which is the top part of the lake. We spent one night session ...
