It's time for my summer hike down the canyon. My brother and his grandson, and my daughter and son are planning a different kind of hike to the thunder river on the north rim of the Grand canyon. should be pretty cool,even though it will be pretty hot in June. Cant wait to get my permits and get hiking. 114 days. Anyone hike this route to Thunder River, down to the Colorado then to Deer creek?

Falls View Canyon Trail #868

Posted 01-24-2010 at 10:27 PM by Bradsalex
So the family went driving yesterday, we were looking for a road that went to the top of a mountain which overlooks the Washington sound. So after two hours of driving we reach the road and of course, since it is January, the road is closed for the winter. There is a trail to the top one person says to us, but it's a two mile trail with 2,000 foot of elevation gain. So we decided to go to a waterfall trail my wife looked up.

The trail is inside of the Falls View Campground. The...

Duckabush River Trail #803

Posted 01-11-2010 at 02:06 PM by Bradsalex
Hello and Greetings to All,

This is the first hike that I am posting onto my blog. My family and some friends went to the Duckabush River Trail #803 in Olympic National Forest, Washington. It was a great day, with temperatures in the upper 40's, fog in the morning and overcast skies in the afternoon.

The trail head starts out at about 120m elev. and heads uphill instantly. The grade is not bad (I took my 5 year old) and it's uphill for about the first half to three...

I went trail running yesterday on Mt. Tam in the Bay Area of northern California. It was fun, and a darn good workout. The trail I used was downhill on the way in, and uphill on the way out. So I really had to push myself at the end. I couldn't just "ease" to the finish line. There were a few times when I had to slow down to a walk, for safety. The terrain was to uneven, rocky or rough. Staying at a run over those areas would have simply been irresponsible. But the hard work it took to...
