I carry one.

I took the detour off the King Ravine Trail to visit the Ice Caves on July 15th. Never thought or cared to do a comparison, but the ice looked about the same 4 weeks ago as it did in my previous two visits in August 2020 and August 2016. I'll leave the global warming debate and the definition of...

Hi TwinMom+1, Were you on Mt Eisenhower on Sunday July 17th? If so, I was the guy who used your camera to take a picture of you and your boys as you were packing up to leave. It was nice to meet you.

April 2021 Took the 6am Hiker's Express shuttle to the trailhead of the South Kaibab Trail, went down to the Colorado River and to Phantom Ranch, and then returned to the rim via the Bright Angel Trail. The Silver Bridge was under construction, so the Black Bridge had to be used for both...

For those of you who might've missed the not-so-subtle reference, TJsName just called maineguy a white supremacist.

With apologies to the evil Dr. S. I do not like redlining and ham I do not like them, "---" I am I do not like them when I smoke I do not like them when they're spoke Especially when I'm striving to be the most woke Not in banking, not in housing, Not in social media mingling But mostly not...

Smugmug. Seven bucks per month. Easy to use and customize. No pop ups or banner ads. No BS. Great customer service, although it's rarely been needed. Amazed that anyone still does facebook or twitter.

Franconia Bike Path, about a half mile north of Flume visitors center. Friday August 7th.

Heading to the Rocky Mountain National Park area in August. Looking for advice on your favorite 2-3 hikes you've done out there. I'd like to summit a 13k'er or 14k'er if possible, but that's not necessary. No idea how we'll handle the altitude, coming from sea-level. Ideally looking for...

Anyone have a fancy wrist watch for hiking? One that has GPS maybe, altimeter, steps, etc. What brand, model, first-hand pros and cons? Thanks.

Lots of good advice above about the camera itself. But another thing to keep in mind is manual dexterity. In the warmer months this is usually not an issue. But in the extreme cold, you might have thick gloves on, and you might need to take them off to remove the lens cap, adjust buttons and...

Hi Joe, cool shot. Where exactly did you take your shot? Mine is from just north of Yellowstone.

In a total ripoff of a famous song, the AMC could make a Village People sort of video whereby three people act out the A-M-C letters. That would help people understand the logo as well as satisfy the AMC's diversity/inclusion jones. Two birds, one stone. Also, in the "Be Outdoors" part of the...

That's quite a sense of entitlement you've got there. Keep in mind one key fact about those wealthy, chunky people who only walked 1.5 miles to the hut to gorge on all that food: they paid for it, you didn't. They're under no obligation to leave you any table scraps. I've bumped into a few AT...

I agree, her story is bogus. Look at her feet....looks like she just got a pedicure.
