Water Weight and Snowpack

Posted on January 5, 2022June 14, 2022 by Backcountry Fever

I read UAC avalanche reports every day for the areas I like to play in. The intent to follow what is going on in our mountains for better decision making around safe winter recreation.  Yesterday’s forecast referenced the natural avalanche on Little Water Peak and mentioned something I found very interesting. The analysis part of…

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…

65,000 Grand Steps from Rim to Rim

Posted on November 8, 2021June 14, 2022 by Backcountry Fever

I got to do one of my favorite hikes last week for the 3rd time, a crossing of the Grand Canyon from rim to rim!  This is an epic adventure that every hiker should do at least once.  The views are like none other, the challenge is definitely noteworthy and the fact that one can…

Touched the Top o’ Texas

Posted on October 12, 2021June 14, 2022 by Backcountry Fever

This makes 21/50 for me and brings my season of State Highpoints to an end for the year.  12 states in 5 months has been one heck of a ride! Guadalupe is one of the easier ones, I think! …right up there with Humphreys, Mansfield and maybe even Marcy.  You climb a mere 2,800′ over…

A Lovely Day on Longs

Posted on September 29, 2021October 1, 2021 by Backcountry Fever

My wife has attended a conference in Denver every year in September since 2018.  Coming from Utah, I have tagged along with her each time in order to hike another Colorado 14er.  That was my plan again today, with Longs Peak being my peak of choice this year. The day was a beautiful one.  In…

Redemption in Kansas

Posted on September 24, 2021October 13, 2021 by Backcountry Fever

If you recall, we went for the Kansas state highpoint back on Memorial Day and didn’t make it. It was now time for redemption in Kansas with some unfinished business to tend to!   The highest point in Kansas is on a gentle slope… out in the middle of miles and miles of remote farmland….

Timp Traverse from North to South

Posted on September 20, 2021September 29, 2021 by Backcountry Fever

My 10th summit of Mt. Timpanogos as part of a traverse from north to south. Headed up the northeast ridge of Timp to begin a traverse across the top from the North. Full trip report coming soon…

A Grand View of the Grand Teton

Posted on September 6, 2021December 8, 2021 by Backcountry Fever

My daughter had another wedding to attend in Idaho Falls this weekend. Since she didn’t want to go up there alone for the second weekend in a row, she asked if I wanted to go with her. It only took a split-second for me to see this opportunity to finally hike Wyoming’s, Table Mountain! The…

Mt. Marcy and My First of the Adirondack 46ers

Posted on August 29, 2021September 29, 2021 by Backcountry Fever

New York’s tallest in the bag to wrap up my Northeast segment of state highpoints. That puts me at 18/50 and my first of the Adirondack 46ers. I also met a Summit Steward for the first time. Her name was Kia, who taught us about the sensitive vegetation at the top. Then instead of asking…
