Over half of the tallest mountains in the United States are located in Colorado. Check out how they were formed and why there’s a bit of confusion around whether there are 53 or 58 of these 14ers!

I had high hopes of doing some hiking during a recent trip to O`ahu. Unfortunately, a lower leg injury from a Summer Hockey League playoff game last month left me hobbling around just enough to make the trip, but not much else.

This is what I was hoping to explore while spending 10 days on O`ahu for the first time. I also knew I wouldn`t get to all of them in one trip — especially with other things we wanted to do — so here they are in order of priority:

- Backway for the Stairway to Heaven (Haiku Stairs)
- Three Peaks (Mt. Olomana)
- Reverse Olomana Trail
- Makapu`u Lighthouse Trail
- Koko Crater Stairs
- Koko Crater Rim Trail
- Diamond Head Crater Trail
- Old Pali Highway
- Mt. Ka`ala (tallest peak on O`ahu)
- Pūpūkea to La`ie

Maybe next time...

Six months ago today, I stood on top of the tallest peak in the Americas — Aconcagua, Argentina — and it has taken me that long to finish a series of posts about my epic adventure!

This day-by-day trip report is packed with photos, route descriptions, and insights from my own experience. You’ll find everything from what to pack, to what the camps are really like, to why I think the 360° Traverse is the ideal choice.

👉 Lnk in bio!

Whether it’s your first high-altitude climb or you’re adding Aconcagua to your mountaineering resume, the 360° Traverse offers one of the most satisfying ways to stand on the highest point in South America.

My 13th time on this summit, but 1st to enjoy some watermelon at the top 🍉 Thanks to Jocelyn, the "Watermelon Girl", who lugged that all the way up and was gracious enough to share it 😁

Veered right a bit of the South saddle (red line) for a more adventurous route up to Timp... but once we got up on the ridge, we saw we could have done an even more interesting way (yellow line) cutting into that cliff band and zigzagging along the shelves as seen in the 4th picture (taken from South Timp).

Only a few patches of snow remain between Aspen Grove and Emerald Lake.

For those interested in doing Deseret Peak... the snow is still in the couloirs, but only for a little while longer!

The best way to slide down a snowy slope in Spring conditions is like this...
