    Got out again for a few days. Made a loop by connecting trails via a cross-country hike and a tiny bit of class 3. As always, just another excuse to get above 13,000’ and eat candy.

      hombre, after thinking about it and seeing few upvotes, it’s be great if you posted little mini trip reports as separate posts, just so more people see them. up to you of course but i think people would be interested and inspired!

        I’ll definitely consider it, if I have the time of course. Gear analysis, etc, is definitely fun, but the point in all off this is getting out in woods after all. Seeing others’ pics of cool places they’ve been is far more interesting to me.

          well said! i didn’t mean doing anything in-depth, just the photos, rough location, time, distance would be enough. you could whip up a post for your current one in a minute. it’d be great to see a post from you. agreed that getting out there is what matters most, but think it over :)

      Nice pics! How did the weather treat you? Is that a Motrail by chance?

        That is indeed a Motrail. It’s the lightest 2 person tent I have. Not as much room as the one I normally use (lunar duo), but lighter for sure.

        We got rained on a little bit everyday, but lucked out overall. We rushed down from 13,500-ish because clouds were building, but it didn’t start raining till we were back on trail.

          love the idea of combining existing trails into your own custom loop! glad to hear the weather gods spared you, this time 😉
