I was still shooting film back then, but when I wanted to take a star trail picture with the lighthouse I borrowed my father's Nikon D200. This was my first time really shooting digital. It took about 25 minutes and I was covered by bug bites, but it was worth it. The light fog provided the perfect effect... and I got extremely lucky guessing the exposure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1519412069449-QOWIJYY02F7WQK5BDAG5/JTGP0933.jpg Nature - Clouds and Sky (Acadia National Park, 2016) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1519412156620-LOJ2NWDM4H2AAJ83KTXH/Pond+Sunset+2014+V2.jpg Nature - Ethan Pond, NH 2014 On one of the last nights of my 4 week trip along the Appalachian Trail we stays at a shelter next to Ethan Pond.

Partial Solar Eclipse 2013 Got up extra early to catch a glimpse of this solar eclipse. I drove 45 minutes to find a spot with a good view of the low eastern sky. When I got there I was greeted with a overcast sky. I waited it out hoping for the best. Just as the eclipse was due to start, a tiny sliver of sky opened up. Just enough to catch a shot, before the clouds rolled back over the sun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1519431520176-JX3R6Q74XOFF0PJYKQDO/JTGP0454.jpg Nature -

It was a 10 mile hike for me to Moose Mountain, but Mike said he might want to go further and that he would meet me the next day. I hiked alone the whole day then had several hours to myself at the shelter.

Our first bear sighting...and it was a mother with two cubs. Another hiker we meet at Bill's tried to scare them off with no luck. So we had no choice but to all walk past them together...we all walked by less than 15 feet from the protective mother. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1519583543239-EV73QWGLNH86GK4BBEZY/IMG_5841.jpg Appalachian Trail 2014 - Fire Wardens Cabin Next to the Fire Wardens cabin was an old fire watch tower.

The mist was waiting for us at the top as well, but for a brief moment the sky opened up and the mountain revealed itself. It wasn't to last, the clouds quickly rolled back over the summit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1519583943421-O7DCPZ0CGLFLMML1G9GV/IMG_5909a.jpg Appalachian Trail 2014 - Long way down Mt Moosilauke Back into the clouds we went as we made our way down Mt Moosilauke.

High Sierra Trail 2020 - Trail Head For the last few years, we had been hoping to get the chance to hike the famous 72-mile High Sierra Trail (HST). The trail starts in the Giant Sequoia groves at Crescent Meadow, and eventually takes you up the highest peak in the Lower-48, Mt. Whitney. The pandemic meant many of our options for transport, such as several buses, were canceled. Every step of our journey to the trail head (and back) was more complicated than expected. Despite the logistical issues, we made it from New Jersey to Crescent Meadow. It ended up taking us 8 days to complete the trail. It was well-worth it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938742887-OW8CFCUAV4KSF5FN046D/HST2020-WEB-1.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Trail Head For the last few years, we had been hoping to get the chance to hike the famous 72-mile High Sierra Trail (HST).

The previous highest peak I ever climbed was Mt. Washington in New Hampshire at 6,288’. The start of the High Sierra was already at 6,500’. Most of the time we would be above 10,000’. With the highest point, Mt. Whitney, being 14,508’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598942360598-TCWFC474SF8H04CNR5LP/HST2020-WEB-1-2.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Giant Sequoia It was my first time seeing giant sequoias. Photos can’t truly show just how big there are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938744725-6WBZB285UAFUP16JJQE3/HST2020-WEB-2.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Into the Forest The first few miles of trails were full of day-hikers exploring Crescent Meadow, so I had to hike while using my bandanna as a mask. We had set-off fairly late since we had started the day at an Airbnb in Fresno. Most of the HST thru-hikers, I assumed, had already set off earlier that morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938763917-VSWEZTELE7OTI3UHZK2V/HST2020-WEB-3.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Between Two Sequoias It had been 6 years since we last did a backpacking trip that was more than 4 days long. This hike wasn’t going to be our longest (that title goes to our ~280 mile AT section), but with the upcoming elevation gain, I expected it to be our hardest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938786512-OV3IU9ZBQUTMSFVMO70V/HST2020-WEB-7.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Endless Forest Since the pandemic hit months before we were due to set off, I tried not to let myself get too excited about the hike. I didn’t know whether it would happen or not. Finally, after a few hours of hiking the Sierras, the excitement of what I was doing began to set in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938776336-L38PDUDMQGOBQ4AMVDDM/HST2020-WEB-5.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Walking among the Sequoias I felt that if I had gone back in time thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, the forest would look and feel the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938787909-C0D6BP1T0STG87Z04IBI/HST2020-WEB-8.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Along the Ridge It was perfectly quiet that day. We heard few birds singing, and compared to the forest back home, there were almost no insects either. The dry mountain air made it feel like the moisture was being sucked from my lips and mouth. The humid and noisy woods of NJ/NY seemed like they might as well be on a whole other continent. The Sierras were like nothing we hiked before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938805947-4XNJ7FCZCJC2PKB6FMMD/HST2020-WEB-9.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Nine Mile Creek After 9 miles we made it to the first camp site, the aptly named Nine Mile Creek. We arrived earlier than expected, it was only 4:30pm. Back on the AT we would usually keep hiking until 6 or 7pm, but on the HST the campsites are further part, making it difficult to go ‘just a few more miles’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938802046-BFUUNJYADVS6RPB3S09W/HST2020-WEB-10.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Pool at Nine Mile A few other groups of HST thru-hikers were already at Nine Mile, but most were set up far from our tents. We spent the first night sitting by this pool in the creek and watched the stars come out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938819911-UB4DYHSA4SF66U5V7L5B/HST2020-WEB-11.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Deer at Nine Mile The next morning we were visited by a curious deer that was checking out the campsites of the hikers who left before us. It came within about 15 feet of our tents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938826336-LAFRKWFY63511TZ2VQ5N/HST2020-WEB-12.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Off to Big Hamilton We started later in the day than the other thru-hikers, but it was only a 7 mile hike to our next destination, Big Hamilton Lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938833665-ZWA30D4IA6HJ87RBCCQH/HST2020-WEB-13.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Mountain Views The day started easy. The temperature in the shade was perfect, and the trail was mostly flat.

A benefit of all the snow melt from higher elevations. At least once an hour we passed a stream that would be considered a rare find hiking on our usual trails in the Northeast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938849038-JE08S3WR2JFP6UD34CNC/HST2020-WEB-16.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sierra Lizards A common sight as we hiked along the HST were small lizards. We would surprise them as they sunbathed on the exposed rocks on the trail, and scurry away once we got close. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938855139-RWK45HQXMLCM8HAFTZU2/HST2020-WEB-17.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sunbathing Lizard This was the closest I able to to get the entire hike… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938862031-Q9M1Z5GF7F3BE2NXJDW2/HST2020-WEB-18.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Bearpaw Camp Bearpaw Camp is a tent cabin hotel built in the 1930s. Unfortunately, it was closed since last year because of damage it suffered from an unusually heavy snow year. It was still the perfect place to rest before the push to Big Hamilton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938870608-PCEIFK7ROMV4TZVPMA79/HST2020-WEB-19.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Checking the Map at Bearpaw We hung around Bearpaw for awhile before moving on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938874190-6S3QTBP4A6YFZPT8D438/HST2020-WEB-20.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Trees and Mountains The slope across from us was scared with groves that looked like they were made by avalanches. The bottom of the valley was full of massive boulders and dead trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938887733-SGKWEUVZM9VN51LBS7X2/HST2020-WEB-21.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Clouds over the Sierras I’ve never seen mountains like these. The closest I’ve come was in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, since some of those peaks are above tree line, but really there is no comparison to these formations. Sometimes I had to stop hiking just to stare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938894524-GITVTL91YFA228NYITL1/HST2020-WEB-22.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Views above Treeline This was one of the first first times the trail properly opened up and let us take in the sights above treeline. I couldn’t help but to think about how difficult it must have been to construct this trail through these mountains back in the 1930’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938902469-IXDVUC8MGPLGO9ULO15J/HST2020-WEB-23.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Imposing Peaks Seeing the scale and beauty of these towering granite mountains was more than enough to justify coming all the way here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598986038825-T0OMB91F6KSFGOBW2RAR/HST2020-WEB-1-3.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Collapsed Bridge Right before starting the last climb to the lake, we crossed a wooden bridge over a gorge, but when we looked down we saw the twisted remains of a previous bridge that must have once spanned the gorge. It looked at if the large boulder its resting on might have taken it out during a landslide, but we weren’t sure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598986736584-94GLLZXSMCU5P8KXF8GF/HST2020-WEB-1-4.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Looking over the Bridge It was a long way down to the old bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938917280-9QKNWC5ZY0HR3DTDC4XT/HST2020-WEB-24.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Creek from Hamilton Lakes This creek was flowing down from Hamilton Lakes, we stopped to relax and fill up our water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938910127-LENFFZCERIWQM05QQ39W/HST2020-WEB-25.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Mountain Flowers I believe these flowers are called “Bigelow's Sneezeweed”. We saw many glowing along the trail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938927798-PEQKXTVMSRBOXO6DGTKR/HST2020-WEB-26.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Climbing up to the Lake It was a tough climb. The trail up to the lake was very exposed and climbing up in the early afternoon meant the temperature was high. I was still feeling the affects of the high altitude. Hiking one mile in the Sierras felt like hiking three in Appalachia. I was exhausted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938928727-WH9N6YXLQORR0AKPWHJ2/HST2020-WEB-27.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Camping at Big Hamilton Lake Big Hamilton is a popular camping spot. We learned that many people hike the HST just to spend a day there before heading back to Crescent Meadow. Thankfully we found a good tent site close to the water, right before it started to drizzle. Once the rain stopped however, powerful gusts of wind came pouring over the rim across the lake. We had to use all of our tent stakes, and some rocks, to secure our tents. The tent you see next to mine, on the far right, was completely blown over by the high speed winds. Our neighbors were gone at the time, but Mike and I were there to catch the tent in time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1599002725558-NRYRBRZCSYH0R0UJXBJU/HST2020-WEB-1-5.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Dinner on the Lake We unpacked our food and cooking gear and started to cook a well-earned meal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938935069-4I3LA8JTD1AIAEVWIGX7/HST2020-WEB-28.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sundown The rain and wind cleared out just in time for sunset, I went up a small trail that ran up a hill near the lake to have a look. (Later that night, I went up this same trail west of the lake to use the bathroom. After walking a hundred or so yards from camp I heard a stomp on the ground. I looked up and my headlamp was just bright enough to illuminate two eyes of some large animal about 10 yards ahead of me. I decided to turn back rather than stick around to find out what it was.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938948346-AKZDWLCS2XAZA5RAAD8M/HST2020-WEB-31.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sunset hitting above Hamilton I could easily see what draws in so many hikers to take the HST just to camp at Big Hamilton. It was the most popular spot we stayed at the entire trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938934917-M8OHQOPRD60ZC1GYX5HR/HST2020-WEB-29.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Bear at Big Hamilton It was only day two, and we already saw a bear. We heard a fellow hiker yelling to scare it away when after it wondered close to the camp. We made it over in time to see as it left the area. It crossed over a creek and headed to the other side of the lake. The bear is hard to spot in this picture, its half way up from the bottom of the frame, slightly to the left. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938955550-CO8LY5E84AMK6WALAD4E/HST2020-WEB-30.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Hamilton Lake Sunset Watching the last rays of sun light up the rim across the lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938967649-KPKUVTGFPF33EPDOLIZ4/HST2020-WEB-32.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Starry Night at Hamilton Lakes Mike and I stayed up late talking and watching the night sky. The Milky Way, Saturn, and Jupiter were prominently visible. We couldn’t stay up too long however, I knew that the next day would be one of the harder ones, it would start with a 2,000’ ascent up to Precipice lake. I wouldn’t get much sleep because the high winds from earlier that day came back in full force around 1 am. The thrashing of my tent in the wind made it difficult to get any rest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938971093-VW3YB3O1ZMGP9ZUGFGEJ/HST2020-WEB-33.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Tree on the trail The next day was even harder than I thought it would be. I still wasn’t adjusted to the altitude. The thin air made each step exhausting. Since It was only day 3 my pack was still heavy with food and other consumable supplies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938986854-FSJS1MB09D3TN505GYK4/HST2020-WEB-34.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - The Trail over Hamilton The trail up to Precipice was the most beautiful few miles of trail I’ve ever hiked. Here, the trail cuts right into a side of the cliff, forming a small tunnel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938992102-X7X66ICLZ71PGWLCS303/HST2020-WEB-35.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Narrow Path The trail was about 2 or 3 feet wide, next to that was a few hundred foot drop. Here the trail comes through the notch cut out on the right, and loops around back up the mountain on the left. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938995313-AMS7FEDBM6P3ELXN2YSB/HST2020-WEB-36.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Marmot Near Precipice Lake We passed a few resting marmots while making the climb. They didn’t seem to be bothered by us as we walked by. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939009936-V2RP389MIE5WSGM6YGXW/HST2020-WEB-37.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Hamilton Lake from Above The climb was worth the effort. I was beat at this point. It took a few hours to make it this far, and since it was most of the time was spent going up, seeing the lake where we started made it felt like we hardly went anywhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939025634-SF4LPUOXLLAZVV76XJYV/HST2020-WEB-38.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Precipice Lake We finally made it up to Precipice. The melting snow that’s filling the lake with deep blue water is visible up on the side of the slope. Precipice would become one of my favorite sites along the HST, and we had the whole place to ourselves. All we could hear was the sound of the snow melt flowing down the granite rock face above the lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939035593-I7HR8TZLTO8RQHMO3R92/HST2020-WEB-40.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Overlooking Precipice We hung around the lake for over an hour. Mike is in the lower right of this photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939049482-GAQM246P9HRBPJMY4CD4/HST2020-WEB-41.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Thunder over Precipice Occasionally we were hearing the distant rumbling of thunder echoing through the mountains. Thunderstorms are common in the Sierras, and isolated storms are scattered throughout the mountains nearly every afternoon. They only passed over us a few times. It was more common for us to have steady drizzle than serious rain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939054849-6YIO7V7R2IF2UO3WI2LO/HST2020-WEB-42.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Swimming in Precipice Mike decided to take a swim in the lake. Since the water came from snow melt, it was freezing. I went in up to my knees and could barely feel my toes after a few minutes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939069887-BKVRJZGV96WFNB1E1C4H/HST2020-WEB-43.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Descending down the Kaweah Gap After Precipice we started our way down the Kaweah Gap, part of the Great Western Divide. The hardest part of the day was over. Although we still had many miles to cover, it would mostly be downhill. We were on our way to a campsite next to a creek called the Big Arroyo. By this time it has started to drizzle again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939071231-D0VMMDTBOFTAOJ65YET6/HST2020-WEB-44.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Lake in Kaweah Gap This lake was feeding the Big Arroyo, our destination for the night. The Big Arroyo eventually flows into the Kern River. We would be camping along the Kern in a few days from now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1599080274788-G75XEILSI8O6BD8TGCI8/HST2020-WEB-1-7.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Changing Scenery I started to realize that every few miles the HST would offer us a completely different landscape and ecosystem. Kaweah was radically different from the environment west of Precipice and Big Hamilton. And now just a mile or so down from Kaweah was different yet again. Now we found ourselves in open landscape of isolated pine trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939080672-HWYJ7CM00LQPHSXPUIYG/HST2020-WEB-45.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Camp at Big Arroyo It was a very long and day, but I could honestly say those miles from Hamilton to Big Arroyo was some of the best hiking I’ve ever done in my life. We pitched our tents and settled in at the campsite for the night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939084104-NECKBWUJMGAKMUCMYZGN/HST2020-WEB-46.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Morning at Big Arroyo As usual, we were the last ones left at camp and took our time to get back on the trail. We altered our plans, however. Originally the morning after Big Arroyo was meant to be a long 14-mile hike to Kern River Hot springs, but another thru-hiker let us know that half way to Kern was Moraine Lake. It was off the main HST trail, but it seemed like it would be a good idea to split the long day into two shorter days to check out this lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939099056-08JA5JV66O5FIWTYUSOA/HST2020-WEB-48.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Dead Tree over Big Arroyo The morning’s hike started with a 1,200’ climb. I felt stronger though, my body was finally adjusting to the elevation. It only took 4 days… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939117043-9VYA17LE0OBUSSZ9J96M/HST2020-WEB-50.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Trail to Moraine The hike to Moraine Lake was considerably easier than the last few days. Most of the time was spent in pine forest and meadows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939116777-W0N5EWNG55CHACYVOVG9/HST2020-WEB-49.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Twisted Trees One of my favorite parts about being in the Sierras were the unusual trees. From the wild and twisted forms of the bristlecones pines, the scaly primeval looking bark of the ponderosa pines, and the humbling size of the giant sequoias, every tree was awe-inspiring. Far removed from the broad-leaved forest back home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939134214-84CWNX9R6PNJROBRKK4U/HST2020-WEB-51.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sandy Trail Unexpectedly found ourselves hiking a sandy stretch of trail. The HST continued to surprise us. We were only two miles from the lake now, we would reach it by around 1 pm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939125351-S95JM0J3DUN5MMCCBZOK/HST2020-WEB-52.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Freshening up at Lake Moraine After setting up camp, I took advantage of the fresh water of the mountain lake to rinse off my clothes. It felt great to finally put on a fresh pair of clothes after 4 days of hiking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939134157-NCRMGB3HJUVPY3E8EAHA/HST2020-WEB-53.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Storms Rolling In About an hour or so after we made it to the lake it started to rain and thunder. This was a the heaviest rain we saw yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939145655-XXY5X273XIXT3USE9CWK/HST2020-WEB-54.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sheltering from the Rain The rain lasted for hours. Everyone at camp retreated to the safety of their tents to wait out the storm. Almost as soon as the rain started to let up, another storm cloud would roll over and last another hour or so. I relaxed, napped, and even made dinner inside my tent. All while listening to the rain drops land on my tent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939151035-MDWR058OB3W47B8IJ4SC/HST2020-WEB-55.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Storm Clouds at Sunset Finally, just before dark, the rain stopped. As we emerged from our tents we were greeted with a beautiful sky and setting sun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939153161-FZE4KUXTZ4J6SHUW04UB/HST2020-WEB-56.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Moraine Sunset The fading storm clouds kept shifting into more and more dramatic shapes and colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939183963-BUXAB5VBRW5F7L287P2L/HST2020-WEB-59.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Looking out over Moraine Waiting for the last bit of light to leave the sky. It was perfectly still and quiet that night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939179065-XZN3RGEDCJPM2RYL77CC/HST2020-WEB-60.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Fading Light over Moraine I was so glad we unexpectedly stopped here for the night. The tip our friend gave us was a good one. (I was sitting on a rock taking these pictures for nearly an hour, but unknown to me a duck was hiding out next to it. I eventually moved just enough to startle it. The duck aggressively quacked at me and took off swimming to the far side of the lake. It scared the crap out of me.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939209076-2S8L9MRXH27NYZ9XF5HH/HST2020-WEB-61.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Milky Way over Moraine Lake The best view I had of the night sky on the whole trip was at Moraine. All the other hikers had gone to sleep at sunset, so I got to spend a few hours all alone on the shores of the lake, watching the night sky. Nights like these are one of the main reasons I go backpacking. I’ll never forget my night at Moraine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939212881-FGQVLP7QMNRROT3LFV9M/HST2020-WEB-62.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Jupiter and Saturn The two brightest stars are actually Saturn and Jupiter.

Nights like this are something everyone should have the chance to experience at least once. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939231394-ZJYOJX7JVIN9ZIOREBMP/HST2020-WEB-64.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Dilapidated Cabin After learning Moraine we stumbled upon the remains of an old cabin not far from the lake. I wonder what this cabin was used for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939245576-3MG85Q4YHAZFXRGRMN1B/HST2020-WEB-65.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sky Parlor Meadow Before rejoining the main HST, we passed by Sky Parlor Meadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939271464-YJD3M5Q9MB728LR0H5VB/HST2020-WEB-66.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - The Descent to Kern Soon after leaving Moraine we began making the descent down to the Kern River. We would have to make up for the loss in elevation the next day though… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939266237-DT2ZJ6I0JDL38AZ4RLZP/HST2020-WEB-67.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sierra Shrubs These white shrubs where growing between the rocks over Kern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939278771-VGW9RMJWPXXIZVNFTYWB/HST2020-WEB-68.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Keep Gate Closed A gate was attached to a large Ponderosa Pine at the bottom of the Kern River Valley. We weren’t sure what its purpose was, but our best guess was that it had something to do with pack animals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939287034-W9D8XDTSNZQKRRLXAG91/HST2020-WEB-69.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Kern River Once we made it to the river it was a nice flat trail to the Kern Hot Springs. It didn’t take us long to reach camp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939286264-I7REUCXYE8UGXKYL01J3/HST2020-WEB-70.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Kern Hot Springs Next to the campsite was a natural hot spring flowing into the Kern River. They built a concrete tub to hold the warm water for bathing. Never before have I had the chance to take a warm bath on a backpacking trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939292703-FSYA2V1XABHGEGHRG8OC/HST2020-WEB-71.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Relaxing in the Hot Springs Taking time to relax in the hot springs was one of the best moments of the trip. Afterwards we headed back to camp, had dinner, and went to bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939308000-243064SSIFEO1UR3EHH5/HST2020-WEB-72.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Kern Rattlesnake I was startled and jumped back after I nearly stepped on this rattlesnake when I went to use the bathroom before we left camp the next morning. If you look at its mouth you will see the tail of the squirrel it was having for breakfast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1599102409592-RFQT0ZUUTVZ7JQ0WTYQ3/HST2020-WEB-73.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sunrise over Kern River That day was planned to be a long one. We had 12.5 miles to hike to make it to the next camp, Wallace Creek. It was the earliest we set off up to that point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939314237-CD56V44I6QSO2MZWHYZY/HST2020-WEB-74.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Kern River Pine Marten If you look closely, at the base of the tree by the rock, right of the trail, you will see a little pine marten poking out its head to have a look at us. I loved hiking along the river. Being in a dense forest again felt a bit like hiking back home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939326186-EKU17ENOJ1PVU9H3OAKL/HST2020-WEB-75.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - A Hard Morning Climb Although not as bad as the one up to Precipice Lake, the climb up to Wallace was a difficult one. It was long and exposed to the sun. In the afternoon the heat was brutal. We stayed together while we hiked along Kern, but once we started the climb up Mike got ahead of me. I spent most of this day hiking solo. It was a good opportunity to think. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939338995-K3ZRH3XOTBOMJPSEDI2D/HST2020-WEB-76.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Camp at Wallace Later that day I finally caught up with Mike. He had made it to Wallace Creek about 45 minutes before I did. We were warned ahead of time that Wallace is a busy campsite, since its where the High Sierra Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the John Muir Trail intersect. Maybe it was because of the pandemic, but there were few people on the trail and the same went for all the campsites we visited. The relatively quiet trail gave us a better chance to get to know the friends we made during our hike. The other hikers you meet when thru-hiking are some of the best parts of being out there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939342481-KICSBLCIEFWRYXPY4MN0/HST2020-WEB-77.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Up to Guitar Lake The next morning after Wallace we were heading to Guitar Lake. From this point on we were entering the Whitney alpine zone. It was a short 7 mile hike to the campsites around Guitar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939359940-6ZBP0EG80V2NPM1WPKP8/HST2020-WEB-78.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Roll Out Found this written in sticks near Crabtree Meadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939364461-IQS0FHEVSHHTMI5A11N0/HST2020-WEB-79.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Timberline Lake Before reaching Guitar Lake we passed by the smaller Timberline Lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598939369866-NFLVLXI5F196TPZ8MPYW/HST2020-WEB-80.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Camp at Guitar Lake Guitar Lake was really something special. We made it there by mid-afternoon. Like at Wallace the night before, Guitar Lake wasn’t crowded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938532356-X1CJ6SVR7ZDB4E7PBJNO/HST2020-WEB-81.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Napping at the Lake Our plan was to leave the next morning at 3am to summit Whitney. Mike and I both decided it would be a good idea to try to sleep a little during the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938520590-NBBKXCSK2JO6SPIPPPZS/HST2020-WEB-82.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Looking out Over the Lake Trying to take a nap didn’t work, it was too hot inside my tent. I spent the day taking in the views and exploring around the lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938554223-7YCGN6G4LJ4WZT570HRL/HST2020-WEB-84.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Guitar Lake Sunset I spent hours wondering around. The open space around the lake was huge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938542991-AG8FU7X11SYDWZYYTIUG/HST2020-WEB-85.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Rainbow Over the Lake I spotted a small rainbow in the sky west of the lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938555888-N0KQAGMXKRI1XL1ILIXJ/HST2020-WEB-86.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Boulder Sunset There were lots of great views to find once I started looking around the lake. It was like nowhere I have ever been before. The sun was starting to set, and its light cast a warm glow on the exposed rocks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938582625-3K05HS65YN3M7DUU08O4/HST2020-WEB-90.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Tree in the Setting Sun Being high above treeline made exploration around the lake easy, but there were still some small trees growing in the less exposed areas near Guitar Lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938610916-7ISDPTJXPR5CS853FVFD/HST2020-WEB-93.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sunset Reflections I probably took more photos at Guitar Lake than any other spot along the HST. I could have spent days there, but I would only get one… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938564950-L2MSKF44QRWRYJX0WR62/HST2020-WEB-87.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sun and Rock It was finally time to go to bed. The sun sunk below the horizon, and I had to be awake well before it would rise again. I took one last look at Guitar Lake, and walked back to my tent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1599242589866-WD62OLCJ7YYTS9IP43YI/HST2020-WEB-94.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Night Trail to Whitney I didn’t get any sleep that night. Before I knew it 1:30 am came around and I was still wide awake and ready to start the climb. Soon after, other hikers began to wake and turn on their red-colored headlamps to pack their gear. The two faint lights you see in the distance are the headlamps of hikers who had already left camp to start their summit. Since it was so early in the morning, the Pleiades star cluster, normally a group of stars we see in the winter skies, was shining overhead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938617939-JKB4Q87F8UXOOU20BYT3/HST2020-WEB-95.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - A Dark and Narrow Path Mike and I were, for once, some of the first hikers to leave camp. We left at 2:30am. Not much was visible beyond the light from our headlamps. Looking back towards guitar, we could make out the faint glow of other hikers moving around the campsite. Next to us were sheer drops down the side of the cliffs, the bottoms of which were too far down for us to see with our headlamps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938629625-DIQKMI4GI8O8SLK4BOXT/HST2020-WEB-96.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - A Silent Ascent up Whitney Hiking this trail at night was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I hadn’t slept, it was a hard climb, and it was only 40 degrees, but I was full of enthusiasm as we climbed and was loving every second of it. The atmosphere that night was something otherworldly to me. Occasionally we would hear the sounds of distant rock slides coming from the slopes to the west. Other than that, the trail was completely silent and still. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938629139-PZLSSGQW2TQWRCYAIMHH/HST2020-WEB-97.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Trail Crest Warning Sign Once most of the climbing was out of the way we reached Trail Crest. It was small outcrop on this otherwise very narrow trail, but it was the perfect spot for hikers leave their heavy packs to lighten their load before the final 2 miles to Whitney’s summit. I took my small day pack with just a few supplies, and of course my camera, before making the final push. We would be passing by the same trail on the way back to pick up our packs. This sign warned us about the extreme lightning risk atop Whitney. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938635378-2LO3SNIAAPIDTLKVSSJT/HST2020-WEB-98.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Summit in Sight It took nearly 4 hours, but we were finally in sight of the top of Whitney. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938640578-YLX676QG0FRLJD5RCY4Q/HST2020-WEB-99.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Mt. Whitney Sunrise We did it. We started out so early so we would be at the top in time to watch the sunrise. We made it just in time. We were standing on top of the highest peak in the contiguous United States, 14,408’ above sea level. This was a full 8,200’ higher than the previous highest peak we ever climbed. Even though the altitude was an issue for me the first few days, by now my body had adjusted and I felt as if I might as well be standing at sea-level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938645178-WCGRF3XF7O6QHTOEI6IS/HST2020-WEB-100.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Birds on Whitney Other than the hikers, the only creatures up on top of Mt. Whitney were these small birds. They would come right up to us as we sat around the peak. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938651881-7HXW3OUSNILKP4J0FSWD/HST2020-WEB-101.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Whitney Hut in the Morning Sun A few hikers had also made it to the top in time for the sunrise. It was worth starting out so early to experience the peak at this time. In a few hours, we were told by another hiker, the peak would fill with people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938655750-WTCAQKU204WWPDO58H5U/HST2020-WEB-102.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Sierras in the Morning Light We could now see the narrow ridge we were walking along in the dark earlier than morning. We had no sense of how high up we were as we climbed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938661855-4BO81O1SEAM3QRLHIJ27/HST2020-WEB-104.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Taking it in We spent about 2 hours at the peak. I think we earned a rest and a chance to take it all in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938674849-ZFIE2QQDP9LTE3QB34WU/HST2020-WEB-103.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Lake Near Whitney As we hung around the summit, more hikers joined us at the top, and we eventually saw all the friends we made along the HST. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938673605-L199HW17ZM40VG6VPEC6/HST2020-WEB-105.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Standing on Whitney My summit photo. I couldn’t believe I was really there. I really wasn’t sure it was ever going to happen. this year, or ever. (Surprisingly, the top of Whitney has cell reception. I was able to make a few called to let people know I made it to the top. It was the first contact I had since setting off at Crescent Meadow) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938682565-3AI2W82A0R6T37LOQMTP/HST2020-WEB-107.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Golden Hour on Whitney A few hikers taking photos at the summit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938689217-FTMT14L6Q4KXIQB4RXK9/HST2020-WEB-108.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Whitney Hut This hut was built in 1909, it predates the creation of the HST. We were able to go inside and look around, but it was just one room. Next to the hut was a log book where we signed our names. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938695339-2JNRRG3HH63Q4YI99DP2/HST2020-WEB-109.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Looking North on Whitney After our 2 hours at the summit it was time to move on. We still had a long 10 mile hike ahead of us to reach the nearest road at Whitney Portal. We had to get from there to the town of Lone Pine before nightfall. There was one issue though, we had no plan on how we would actually make it to town. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938703634-64NPBCWORHTG12ESHS7T/HST2020-WEB-111.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Whitney Window Now that the sun was up we got to actually see the trail we climbed that morning. There are a few cracks in the ridge, know as the Whitney Windows, that give you a view of the east side of the ridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1599113615709-I89JROZHH2DB93JLA837/HST2020-WEB-1-6.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Guitar Lake from Above We were able to see Guitar Lake from up here. We had camped on the right side, not far from the base of the ‘neck’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938712816-OVEXWQ1TM1KZ5Y53RXTT/HST2020-WEB-112.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - A Long Way Down Daylight continued to reveal what an incredible trail it was to Whitney. Some of the drops were much higher than I would have thought, no wonder why our headlamps couldn’t show the bottom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938715161-VIW8CUORIZOU5576FYC7/HST2020-WEB-113.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Leaving the Divide At this point we began climbing down the eastern side of the Sierras. This was our last view of the western side of the Great Basin Divide. It was all downhill from here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938729059-X1TTG3G1F0FC1L8WRHKC/HST2020-WEB-114.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Switch Backs and Snow The eastern slopes had much more snow than the western side, and many more hikers too. The hike to the Portal was long and tiring though, and by the end of it I was exhausted. I was still running on no sleep. The last time I had slept was when we woke up at Wallace Creek. Those last few miles of trail, and the switch backs along it, seemed endless, but by that afternoon we made it. We had burgers and fires at the Portal gift shop and relaxed. Once it was time to go, we had no choice to get to Lone Pine other than hitchhiking. It took awhile, but eventually a couple returning from a camping trip picked us up and dropped us off in front of a motel in Lone Pine. Our hike was over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1598938722933-YWW9SYRQJA8R9GE7VZVR/HST2020-WEB-115.jpg High Sierra Trail 2020 - Heading Home We stayed two days in Lone Pine waiting for a bus out of town. We eventually improvised our way back to Fresno, and had to wait 2 more days there before we took our flight back home. After getting home though, we had a 2 week self-quarantine to get through… I hope I get to see the Sierra Mountains again some day. To quote a hiker we met on the second day...” The High Sierra Trail is really something special.” https://www.jeffgatesphoto.com/timberline-trail-2021 daily 0.75 2021-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833741827-D2QSGIR5YHMGLS3HW4Z9/TIMBERLINE2021-1.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Planning the Trip After having an incredible experience hiking the HST last summer, Mike and I decided to head back to the west coast, this time to Oregon, to do the Timberline Trail. This trail is about 40 miles long and circles of the timberline of Mt. Hood. It was shorter than the HST by 20 miles, and while not as physically exhausting, the Timberline Trail offered it own unique challenges, and amazing views… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833741827-D2QSGIR5YHMGLS3HW4Z9/TIMBERLINE2021-1.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Planning the Trip After having an incredible experience hiking the HST last summer, Mike and I decided to head back to the west coast, this time to Oregon, to do the Timberline Trail.

The trip took 3 hours and cost about $2. It was one of the easier trailheads we had to get to, thanks for the Portland area public transit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833756162-Q3GIHWQMHMYM9U3UYCID/TIMBERLINE2021-3.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Timberline Lodge After the second bus ride, we arrive to the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood. Which apart from being a beautiful hotel and popular ski resort, is also famous being used as the exterior of the Overlook Hotel from the The Shinning. The trail is a loop, so in about 4 days from now we would be back at the Lodge. The whole time we knew we had a place to get some real food at the end. The area around the lodge was busy with skiers and mountain bikers. We didn’t notice any signs pointing to the Timberline Trail, and a few Lodge employees weren’t sure either, but eventually we found someone who could point us towards the trail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833770537-3H8NWO81WDMO1JN2NKY5/TIMBERLINE2021-4.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - View of Mt. Hood The trail started off easy, and the first day was due to only be about 9 miles. We were surprised by how sandy the trial was. My hiking shoes quickly filled with sand and dust, which would become an on-going theme of the Timberline Trail. Right from the start, the trail offered up spectacular Mt. Hood views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833785405-UJE47K6BPPXA64HJ7HFW/TIMBERLINE2021-5.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Mt. Hood Flora This view was typical of the plant life along the trail, but we would pass through many different biomes on the first day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833795627-4J2ADZNIYEE7W4KIVTZ2/TIMBERLINE2021-6.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Ups and Downs We didn’t know much about the trail before we started, which is the norm for most of our trips. We read some reviews from other hikers who hike the Timberline recently and one of them said “If you aren’t going up or down, you are probably on the wrong trail.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833814922-O0OI86PHJYU3FX1D5JKG/TIMBERLINE2021-7.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Mt. Hood Forest The trail would snake through exposed meadows and ridges, before heading back down into the coniferous forest that surround Mt. Hood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833824191-0HYB4STSASBEANODILCL/TIMBERLINE2021-8.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Rough Trail We read some warnings about the trail conditions before setting off. People mentioned the trail is in rough shape for the 2021 season. While not positive, I chalked the neglected trail conditions up to Covid-19 I figured trail maintenance was a low priority during a global pandemic. The trail was littered with down trees. In some parts, the trail was covered with fallen trees stacked on top of other fallen trees. This made the trail tricky to navigate at times. Parts of the trail were so bad (largely thanks to a bad storm the previous year) that sections were closed completed and required us to take detours along the Pacific Crest Trail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833841359-EZ1PNQ12DL4L47MXKKQY/TIMBERLINE2021-9.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Flowers around Mt.

Thankfully, the weather returned to normal by the time our hike started. Each day was in the low 80’s, and the nights were a comfortably cool 45-55 degrees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833846804-XJ24PDRPQ1O6LYI61R1B/TIMBERLINE2021-11.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - A Break with a View Our first rest of the day. We had a few more hours to go, but so far things were going smooth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833850018-YM17I305CQHI1SAIHS02/TIMBERLINE2021-12.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - An Unmarked Trail The Timberline Trail has no trail markings. I don’t mean they were uncommon, or hard to spot. I mean literally it’s entirely unmarked. No blazes and no trail markers. Most, but not all, trail junctions have signs, but there were several moments that we had to rely on the map whenever we arrived at an unmarked junction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833856860-H56L83CVN459943W26PG/TIMBERLINE2021-14.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Quiet Trail Days We heard that the Timberline Trail was busy, and that if we were looking for solitude to look elsewhere, but we found the Timberline to quiet once we left the area around the lodge. We only spotted a handful of hikers each day. Maybe this was thanks to the trail conditions, maybe it was because of the pandemic, or maybe it was both. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833864543-5MUXUSX5F8AN6QKV96LX/TIMBERLINE2021-15.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Mossy Trees While some places had none, large areas of forest around Mt. Hood were coated in a thick layer of some type of Spanish Moss. It gave the forest a mildly spooky feeling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833864488-GU7CH64X312384SUZ0GE/TIMBERLINE2021-16.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Big Views Pictures can’t really do the scale of these views any justice. Only the waterfall, which appears near the center of the frame, gives a sense of perspective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833871603-KCBH1ZVMNR3HMSIGFWFC/TIMBERLINE2021-17.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Looking Up Once again we headed back inside the forest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833871176-4BM3R9U0UOSAW4YUDHRS/TIMBERLINE2021-18.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Downed Trees This part of the trail, just before Sandy Creek, had multiple layers of down trees. A small work crew was working on clearing them while we tried to cross this natural obstacle course. Looked like they had their work cut out for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833878966-AFTVWQR4LNFDK8TL4IUG/TIMBERLINE2021-19.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Sandy Crossing This trail had a challenge we really hadn’t faced before, river fording. There aren’t any bridges along the trail to cross the many glacier rivers flowing down from Mt. Hood’s icy peak. Instead, you happen upon a river and try to guess which spot might be the safest to wade through. This first crossing at Sandy Creek was tricky. I decided on a spot (by taking a guess), and headed in. It was hard to stay on my feet in the fast moving, upper-thigh deep and ice cold water, but I made it without falling in. Afterwards I took off my shoes to let them dry in the sun. We heard that a few weeks earlier the water level was so high at this point hikers had to turn back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833880216-H5S56IS0C9IM5H534DEC/TIMBERLINE2021-20.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - First Camp Its always a good feeling to make that first camp after the first long day of hiking. We found the perfect spot right after we starting hiking again passed the river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833882236-KDTMLHGPMQF3J8YNMQNE/TIMBERLINE2021-21.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Hiker's Midnight We didn’t stay up long that first night. We heading for our tents just after hiker’s midnight (about 9pm). The next day would be a few miles longer, and it seemed like it would be more climbing as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833887742-B9XZXFAEIMTAIJLR9EL3/TIMBERLINE2021-22.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Mt. Hood in the Morning Light This was the first time we did a hike just around one mountain and it was easy to forget that Mt. Hood was almost always looming on the horizon. Each day we would get to see a different angle of the mountain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833915524-F00MHCTQYGE8MOTLG5SC/TIMBERLINE2021-24.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Muddy Fork Crossing Thankfully not all the crossing were as deep and fast as Sandy. This one was much easier, although, just as cold. Right after this crossing we hit another unmarked trail junction, this time with trails not even marked on our map. We spent about 10 minutes heading in the wrong direction on a trail that just…stopped. Eventually we headed back and found our way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833924750-MXT6NDBFGIKHH6MGV9LY/TIMBERLINE2021-25.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Detour A storm in 2020 “obliterated” large sections of the Timberline Trail. We had to follow the detour to get around these impassible parts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833943090-65DZKXNNOLE74JNE69FQ/TIMBERLINE2021-26.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - View near Bald Mountain This part of the trial was one of my favorites. You can actually see the “blow-down zone” we had to detour around. It’s on the ridge to the right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833956293-J1MVMVW2X16BDVT3PY0E/TIMBERLINE2021-27.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Back on the TImberline Eventually the detours ended and we were back on the Timberline Trail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833972659-4G9C9OM6GS576WIXIFV8/TIMBERLINE2021-28.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Long Day This day was definitely tougher than the previous. It was full of those Ups and Downs we were told about. By the afternoon my legs were feeling the miles, and we still had many more to go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833981332-E1B90P9YF6OAN6C7ZXZT/TIMBERLINE2021-29.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Burned Forest On the second day we hit several areas that had been hit hard by forest fires. I’m not sure when the fires in these sections hit, but it looked to be from at least a few years prior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833989256-PV6TUW2PGTWFFWVLTYIH/TIMBERLINE2021-30.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Dead Trees I’ve always been fascinated by the atmosphere of hiking through a forest that was destroyed by fire. It feels other-worldly to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834010190-RYUHW90ERCEGFE7T0P1V/TIMBERLINE2021-31.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Fire and Ice Once we were on the northern side of Mt. Hood, we starting hitting small patches of ice and snow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834022063-W69GLX3QCMF1GPD3CKJ8/TIMBERLINE2021-32.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Heading to Camp Only a few campsites were marked on our map. Many more existed, but you just had to find them. We decided to stick with the ones on the map so we could more easily plan our days and miles. We were finally nearing the end of the second day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834036691-8KETEXU3RKOQ3S4APY1P/TIMBERLINE2021-33.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Dinner under Mt. Hood Our first night’s camp was cozy and secluded, but the second night’s offered a wonderful view of Mt. Hood. Having an exposed view came with a drawback…wind. This night was the coldest we faced, with temps dropping to the 40’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834044413-WT6RJNYQ8JUIFOU6IZCZ/TIMBERLINE2021-34.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Mt. Hood before Sunset We arrived at camp earlier than we usually do, at about 4pm. We had a few hours to watch the mountain before the sun went down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834054118-SZFSM1MMVLM6YVNQ44ZI/TIMBERLINE2021-35.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Camp Stream Right next to our campsite was this stream. The water around Mt. Hood was all snow melt, so it tasted great and was ice cold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834055989-O4UFY8QZT8GTIPNCDTHI/TIMBERLINE2021-36.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Mt. Hood Sunset. The sun was to our backs on this side of Mt. Hood, so were were treated to this spectacular Mt. Hood sunset. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834058562-PHYAFRV7SCSUC9DYRJQ7/TIMBERLINE2021-37.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - The Moon and Mt. Hood The moon started to rise just to the left of the peak. We ended up watching until the moon set behind the mountain hours later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834061598-ZFVHFWNKXCNO0PKEMOPH/TIMBERLINE2021-38.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Enjoying the View This camp ended up being another one of my favorite moments on the Timberline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834065235-TQUZC01UNO23ISKAWKHV/TIMBERLINE2021-39.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Stream Moonlight As the light from the sun faded away behind us, the glow from the moon took center stage. It was nearly full while we were hiking the trail, and its bright light illuminated the forest and stream as we watched it move across the sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834066966-WWYI0H30MY243SL6SWSD/TIMBERLINE2021-40.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - A Calm Night It stayed cold all night, but once the sun light died down, so did the strong wind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834071223-MO80TKWLU345WJS2MRJE/TIMBERLINE2021-41.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Mt. Hood Moonset After a few hours, the moon went clear across the sky and set behind the peak of Mt. Hood. I’m not sure if I had ever watched a ‘moonset’ before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834080596-YP39TDPU8QSTLJ41SP9E/TIMBERLINE2021-42.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Starry Night The stars came out in all their glory once the moonlight fell behind the peak. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834080656-BCTSHBWCZ2L40FEQF0CY/TIMBERLINE2021-43.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Stars over Mt. Hood Nights like these remind me why I go on backpacking trips. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834089269-8B8R5EPFTWITDRZL1T21/TIMBERLINE2021-44.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - The Third Morning The wind came right back up with the sunrise as we broke down our camp. This would be the start of the longest day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834089099-H3H4JKMSTF6KJN8SPSM1/TIMBERLINE2021-45.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Losing the Trail The easiest points to lose the trail are at riving crossings. There aren’t definitive points to cross the river, each hiker choses their own way. So sometimes you can end up on the other side not sure which way to continue. This happened to us a few times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834097443-9OBOWEO0I0BI212UTZW2/TIMBERLINE2021-46.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Finding the Trail At this crossing it took us a little while to find the trail. We ended up going up a dead-end again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834116590-9K2Y8N1ZOX55NSL3UZDN/TIMBERLINE2021-48.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - The Climb Down We were told to watch out for the Elliot Branch crossing. And now we found out why. The trail had been completely washed away at this section, and the only way down was navigating the loose sandy slopes along the river (seen on the right side of this photo). It was steep, and a long way down to the boulders and rushing water below. With each step I took, some of the earth would give way under me. At one point I had a real close call when a rock that was sticking out from the gravel slope shifted downwards when I had to put my full weight on it to keep going to the next foothold. Thankfully it didn’t give way entirely, but I nearly lost my balance. I was glad to finally make it to the river below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834097507-ECIFN98KBV2GAR72INXN/TIMBERLINE2021-47.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Fording Elliot Branch After getting down, it was time to go across. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834138875-BDFJC2W6Q2QXTR4XT45O/TIMBERLINE2021-50.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - The Eastern Slope The eastern part of the Timberline Trail went up as high as 7000’. This section was high above tree line and was another highlight of the trail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834138771-4PU6FI7XPANM94P751R2/TIMBERLINE2021-51.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Ice Fields Another new experience the Timberline offered up was hiking across ice fields. Some were massive, and we had to be extra careful making our way across. It was a long way down if you started to slide. Mike is actually in the this shot, standing next to the ice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834141428-N0WL1R9KKH2829HX8BAS/TIMBERLINE2021-52.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Thinking about each Step Mike headed across the ice first. His old hiking shoes don’t have much, if any, tread left. His had to rely mostly on his trekking poles while making his way across. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834142381-PVEPR88MKA9E1OKBZ0QT/TIMBERLINE2021-53.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Looking up at the Ice I loved being in this unusual landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834143389-6LXBESVKDWO743U99I4V/TIMBERLINE2021-54.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - A Long Way Down The whole time I was thinking about how I would go about stopping myself from sliding all the way down if I slipped. The good news is that I still don’t know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834146404-SPSWJX70TJAXLQJF601H/TIMBERLINE2021-55.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - The Highest Point Around this time we reach the highest point along the Timberline Trail. We had one more day’s worth of hiking left, and it would be mostly downhill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834146996-0RWX2LECV95X9UQK6NYM/TIMBERLINE2021-56.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Broken Stakes While setting up the final night’s camp, I broke two tent stakes. I’ve been using the same ones since I started backpacking, but this tough rocky ground was too much for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834148611-9Z9F749HHNDJZELV6CTC/TIMBERLINE2021-57.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Looking out at Mt.

This seemed like it would usually be a popular spot based on the number of campsites we found, but that night it was only us and one other group there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834160518-K1J8KTII5R4TKB4IBSRC/TIMBERLINE2021-60.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Climbing the Rocks Mike passed the time by climbing some of the large rocks along the river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834155880-8H6N5WWXEZHJKQ8F2IWF/TIMBERLINE2021-59.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Moonrise over Newton Creek Now that we were on the other side of the mountain, we got to see the moonrise opposite of Mt. Hood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627834175130-44MOA4Q0F3C2J64TUN6B/TIMBERLINE2021-61.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Moonlit Camp Usually I hope for moonless nights while backpacking since I always look forward to seeing the stars and Milk Way, but a bright moonlit night does have its own beauty to it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833658954-MJL494GQG8XXSP3LHY4P/TIMBERLINE2021-63.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Mt.

Hood that night were some of my favorites. It was a fantastic last night on the trail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833678168-GA7QKX6WC2IPII5K8FCX/TIMBERLINE2021-66.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Waterfall Even though were only had a few easy miles left to hike before making it back to the Lodge, the Timberline trail still had some surprises for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833680017-ZEQXI6M9SJCYLTSCKBUN/TIMBERLINE2021-65.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Early Morning Since we had to hike out back to the Timberline Lodge, and catch the bus home, we started the day extra early. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833703175-HKBGZL96ED9DHE9QYWEF/TIMBERLINE2021-67.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Tiring Trail The last mile or two of the Timberline Trail was surprisingly exhausting. It was a gentile uphill climb on loose sand. It felt like it was sucking out all my energy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1627833705979-LH50PF3YO28YQFOBJMVC/TIMBERLINE2021-68.jpg Timberline Trail 2021 - Last View We caught our last glimpse of Mt.

It was a great four days on the Timberline Trail. The trail conditions might have been rough, and some parts a little tricky, but it was well worth it. https://www.jeffgatesphoto.com/portland-2021 daily 0.75 2021-09-13

Highway to Hana. A beautiful scenic road that runs along the top of the north eastern part of Maui, winding its way along the coast to Hana. Full of blind hairpin turns, wonderful views, and local sights, its definitely worth spending a day traveling along the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1631560521428-5GOO9UFXP1QVMN8CVHII/MAUI2021-9.jpg Maui 2021 - Hauling Bamboo This man was taking bamboo up to a BBQ place up the road.

They usually allow swimming, but the pools were closed when we were there. The black sand beaches were still worth the trip, however. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1631560536777-90GRVNUCH7PL6XF4HTEJ/MAUI2021-23.jpg Maui 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1631560538874-I0ACFVXGFGWUR9EXP4ZT/MAUI2021-25.jpg Maui 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1631560540446-LSOI0Z4IS8OWUJ0SM8KB/MAUI2021-27.jpg Maui 2021 - Southern Road Most visitors who take the road the Hana turn around and head back along the same road. We decided to take the lesser traveled road along the southern part of the island. On our map it was partially marked with a dotted line, so I assumed it might be a dirt road. That assumption was correct, and we soon learned the harsh road conditions here was the reason most people turn around at Hana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1631560541314-ELHHS985BG9ZCBA0F3SZ/MAUI2021-28.jpg Maui 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1631560539934-Z7QV0ICCCRG05MI3V6WI/MAUI2021-26.jpg Maui 2021 - Tall Cliffs, Tight Turns Much of the road was unpaved, and sections made hairpin turns right along the edge of sheer cliff faces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f96e973e00bed09c874f1c/1631560543415-03QN3JETYTNR7RPNQTEU/MAUI2021-31.jpg Maui 2021 - Barren Landscape This part of the island was free of the lush vegetation we saw earlier near Hana.

Clearing Out After Sunset “Everybody clears out of here pretty quick after sunset” - Park Ranger, while directing parking. Right after the sun finished dipping below the horizon, most people rushed back to their cars to get down the mountain road while there was still some light in the sky.

It was the “best shave ice on Maui”, he told us. He was right, of course.
