    Double Crossing the Grand Canyon

    I don't usually post trip reports over here but a few members here knew I was doing this trip so I will post a link to my report on another site. Special thanks to Stinkyfeet who, whether she knows it or not, made me do this hike/run. http://www.adkhighpeaks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8367

    Hanging Spear Falls

    I asked several of you this over the past few days with no success. I found a sign which appeared to be marking some sort of grave near the falls and am wondering if anyone knows the history behind it. The sign was very old and faded but I believe the name on it was E. G. Milstrey. Anyone?

    white mountain shuttle

    I know this has been discussed before but my search yielded nothing so here goes. I'm looking for info on a shuttle besides the AMC one. The AMC site says their shuttle starts running 6/1 and I'm looking for one before then. Any help is appreciated!

    Up the Creek

    Up the Creek Well it all started off on a warm sunny day…..Not! After spending Saturday night in a motel Neil, Eric, and I took a crack at the Sewards. It wasn’t enough that we would stay up chatting when Neil arrived so we set the clocks ahead an hour for daylight savings which would mean an...

    Wildcats/Carters question

    I'm planning a backpacking traverse for when the snow melts and was wondering what people's opinions were for direction of travel in this area. No general hiking/packing advice needed just looking for opinions on which direction people prefer and why. Thanks in advance.

    Does anyone here sit still?

    What I mean is this. I know that many of us are peakbaggers, redliners,...etc. and so this may go against our inclinations but does anyone take a day off on a pack trip without bagging a peak? I put this in general backcountry because of my examples. They don't take place in the northeast. I...
