Planning for Gannett

Posted on July 15, 2022August 24, 2022 by Backcountry Fever

This was the year I wanted to get three highpoints that involve glacier travel: Hood, Rainier and Gannett.  I shoulda just picked a week in May and drove out to climb Mt. Hood by myself.  I coulda done Mt. Rainier too if other plans had solidified.  And Gannett… Gannett woulda fallen through had I not…

2021 Year in Review

Posted on December 30, 2021June 14, 2022 by Backcountry Fever

2021 was a great year for getting some hiking stuff accomplished!  I wasn’t so much about reaching a specific mileage tally or total elevation gain this time.  Instead, my focus was more about knocking a few significant things off my list.  My biggest goal for the year was to get all lower 48 states west…

Posted on March 2, 2020October 28, 2020 by Backcountry Fever

Decisions, decisions, decisions… there are a lot to be made when putting together a trek to the base camp of Mt. Everest.  As our EBC plans begin taking shape, a few of the biggest ones we’ve just finalized are: 1) who to guide us, 2) what villages to see along the way and 3) when…

This is Packrafting

Posted on May 23, 2019May 29, 2019 by Backcountry Fever

I’m intrigued by this adventure sport I recently discovered called packrafting… it started by researching what it takes to float the Escalante River from Highway 12 to Lake Powell. I can so see myself getting into this… and already pricing out boats!

Planning an Escalante River Run: From Highway 12 to Lake Powell

Posted on April 16, 2019May 24, 2019 by Backcountry Fever

The desire to float the Escalante River came from my first trip to Coyote Gulch with a group of scouts back in 2016.  Standing at the confluence of those two waterways to get a closer look at Steven’s Arch, I couldn’t help but wonder what the full length of that canyon looked like from Highway…

Next International Plan: EBC in 2020

Posted on April 4, 2019May 15, 2019 by Backcountry Fever

I’ve been seeing a lot of pictures lately of people returning from treks to Everest Base Camp. While I have no desire to summit Everest, I’ve always thought the idea of getting to its base camp would be an amazing experience all by itself. I know it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me as…

Next 14er: Pike’s Peak

Posted on March 23, 2019May 15, 2019 by Backcountry Fever

The next time I’m in Colorado, which will be September 2019, I will be going for Pike’s Peak from the Barr Trail. I got the idea after first hearing about the Manitou Incline, and then finding out that’s one of the trails up to Pike’s. This will be my second 14er behind Gray’s Peak in…
