2023 Year In Review

Posted on December 29, 2023January 9, 2025 by Backcountry Fever

Posted on June 16, 2023August 20, 2024 by Backcountry Fever

After success at Mt. Hood on Wednesday (5/31) and again at South Sister on Saturday (6/3), the group had accomplished their plans and would now be heading home.  My plan, however, involved one more stop.  My heart was set on continuing just a little further south to knock something off my list that has been…

Entering the Whitney Zone

Posted on November 14, 2019August 22, 2024 by Backcountry Fever

I’ve been thinking about hiking Mt. Whitney for two years now!  It all started after seeing two other parties from my hiking group organize this trip on two separate occasions.  Both times were planned quietly due to limited spots I presumed – or perhaps only to include those who were certain not to hold back…
