I needed to go backpacking and had looked at a trip offered by the mountaineers but it was full with a wait list. The trip, Cape Alava, a favorite early season hike of mine, but I hadn't been on the trail for years. Then a few days before the group left, a spot opened up. I quickly grabbed the spot and was so happy to be getting out on a great weekend. Only one problem surfaced as I was heading to meet my carpool - I forgot my tent. UGH! It wouldn't be the 1st time I slept out under the stars on the beach...Read More
Stewart Lake Blog – June 15th – 17th, 2012
Our backpacking trip to Stewart Lake in the Pecos Wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico begins with carefully packing our backpacks, doing what we can to keep the weight down. We have been to Stewart Lake before and I remember it being a strenuous hike. We are older now, but hopefully wiser, with better gear and more experience under our belts.
There are at least three ways to get to Stewart Lake. On this trip we start at the trailhead at Holy Ghost Campground and hike the Holy Ghost Trail which will eventually leave the...Read More

The northern half of North Cascades National Park is one of the most scenic places in the lower 48. The names of the peaks alone are enough to attract anyone who loves mountains; Mount Terror, Phantom Peak, Mount Fury.
After a short map study I decided on a route over Hannegan Pass, up along Copper Ridge, down to and across the Chilliwack River, up to Whatcom Pass, and then out to Ross Lake at Big Beaver and Ross Dam.
Getting dropped off at the trail head deep in the wilderness has a certain appeal. The only way out is the way through!
The first days hike took us to Hannegan Pass. The entire route was very scenic, with great views of Nooksack Ridge...Read More
