10 Days in Stanley, Idaho 10 Days in Stanley, Idaho
- From: peerbolt
-
Description:With 10 days between jobs and a raft guide friend currently living in Stanley, Idaho and guiding the main Salmon River, we decided it was time to experience the remote beauty that is the Sawtooth Wilderness and central Idaho. Camping at a site appropriately named "Top of the World" for the duration of our adventure, we squeezed in as much as we could of what the area has to offer, including trail running, hiking, cliff jumping, rafting, fly fishing, and especially hot springs.

The longest slot canyon in the The longest slot canyon in the world, unhitched
- From: joannalilley

Description:You know when people talk about a “trip of a lifetime;” well for me, this was it. Of course now I’m anxiously anticipating another one, but my trip to Paria Canyon was definitely one to be remembered. Never had I imagined that a trip planned so far from home could go off unhitched. As you might recall, I put up an announcement earlier in April/May about still having a permit spot to fill through MountainTechs. I did get responses but no one could make it; go figure. So technically that was the only regret for my trip; not being able to fill one permit slot. In the end, five was the magical number of participants and I couldn’t think of anyone else that could have made our crew better. Honestly. So for months, literally, I have been planning this trip. I conceived the idea to hike this canyon and sent out a mass e-mail back in the fall hoping to get an influx of interest. Well I did, but don’t get too excited. Being an employee in the outdoor field and knowing that the majority of the people who expressed interest had no idea where they would be living and working this winter, let alone in June, I felt it fair to assume the most would drop out. My assumptions were confirmed. Of course everyone in the outdoor field yearns for more adventures in between their seasonal gigs, but planning that far in advance was just too much of a risk. Fortunately for me in the mix of all my colleagues there were a handful of full-timers who said “yes.” Knowing who my crew members were going to be, it was time for me to start planning logistics. Whoever said that coordinating flights departing from various locations, yet arriving in one central location around the same time is ‘easy,’ is wrong. That was the first hurdle. Once all the flights were purchased then came the reservations of the shuttle from the airport into the bustling town of St. George, Utah. Planning transportation to the trailhead, printing driving directions, emergency phone numbers, medical concerns, departing shuttle reservations, not to mention the food planning – it was enough work for me that I wish I had been paid overtime. Though I was not paid in money, I was paid off by the fact that the trip was not only in a magnificent place but also a perfect trip. The perfect trip. The weather was warmer than planned but the sun was a sight for sore eyes. The river was higher than anticipated which provided us with multiple skinny dipping opportunities. The quicksand wasn’t too quick and the wildlife, less interested in us. One person dropped out and last minute I was able to find a friend-of-a-friend replacement who was more than ideal. No flash floods in Utah, and I wish I could say the same for Arkansas during that same time. Beautiful sights that that can do nothing but take your breath away. Only 43 miles in 4 days and not nearly as many blisters as there could have been. Great friends, great pictures, absolute great memories; the trip of a lifetime! I can’t wait to go back. Who’s with me?

Sunrise Hike - Haleakala Natio Sunrise Hike - Haleakala National Park - Maui, HI
- From: KK
-
Description:My wife and I awoke at 4am, grabbed our warm layers and left our beach house on Maui's south shore and drove 10,000 feet up the dark, winding roads to the top of the Haleakala crater to watch the sunrise. We arrived to a dark, cold 35 degrees with a crescent moon illuminating the starry sky. Bundled together in a blanket we watched in awe as the black sky began to brighten in a beautiful red glow above the clouds-the colors continued to amaze us as the sun began to peek out to bring us light and warmth. We then decided to set out on a short morning hike down the sliding sands trail but little did we know our adventure became anything but short - amazed by our epic views, the incredible wildlife (silversword plants) and surrounding colors we decided to continue our hike across the crater. A trusted friend told me about how the hike continued past the Holua Cabin and back out to Park Road where we could hitchhike back up to our car at the summit. Miles of open land had passed without seeing another hiker and the partially marked trail continued with a single track that seemed to stretch for miles ahead. As the sun began to get hot, we stripped away our layers and quickly began to realize our lack of water and sunblock on this unplanned journey. We spotted the Holua Cabin in the distance and were stoked to know we were on the right path - the cabin was set in a gully surounded by peaks and had an epic view of the sea. We continued on a hard packed dirt trail surrounded by lava rock and plants that led us through a gate to a massive switchback climb up a 1500 foot rock cliff. As we gained elevation, the clouds began to roll in to bring us some much needed cooler air and we continued on with our walk in the clouds. We eventually climbed up to a parking lot with a lookout point and looked back at the beauty that we just crossed. Stoked to get back to our car and get a much needed drink, I stuck out my thumb to a number of jeeps and convertibles driven by tourists who passed without even acknowledging our existence until an old beaten down pick up truck with three locals sitting in front pulled to the shoulder - we hopped in the back and he floored it up the winding roads as it was definitely not his first time taking these turns. We let our hair blow in the wind and looked back over the beauty that we had just encountered...

Hiking the Appalachian Trail S Hiking the Appalachian Trail Southbound

Description:In June of 2007, I left my job, my home, and my secure life as I knew it. The life of working during the week and playing on weekends - the outdoor weekend warrior, if you will. Once I climbed Mt. Katahdin in Maine, I followed the Appalachian Trail through 13 more states to the terminus in Georgia. Half way through in Virginia, I met my future husband, Eric Toombs. This six-month journey changed me in so many ways. I want to share it with you...
