Great memories from a recent four-day mountain bik Great memories from a recent four-day mountain bike traverse along White Rim with @rimtoursmoab in Utah. We rode 77 miles through outstanding desert terrain along the Green and Colorado Rivers, sleeping under the stars each night and eating delicious meals each day. It was a bit of luxury on sandstone. >>>>> Link to recent trip report in bio. #rimtoursmoab #rimtoursmountainbikeadventures #canyonlandsnationalpark #canyonlandsutah #mountainbiking #mountainbikingadventures #mountainbiketours #mtbutah #mtbadventure

It would be difficult to find a more rugged and re It would be difficult to find a more rugged and remote location in the Lower 48 States than the Picket Range. During six days of arduous cross-country travel, we saw only two other people, and for a few days, saw not even footprints. Experienced Picket climbers know that the price of admission is very high, but the reward is even higher.

There are more than 400 existing or former fire lo There are more than 400 existing or former fire lookout sites in the mountains of Washington. I’ve visited 100 of them over the years, and I have a half-dozen favorites. My No. 1 favorite is McGregor Mountain above Lake Chelan, so I wanted to do an alpine ascent rather than taking the trail (although the trail is a scrambling challenge on its own). My partners and I had quite an adventure!

Eileen, Andrew @ajwilrad and I had a lot of fun rock-climbing at Black Iron Slab, Cold Creek Slab, and Denny Creek Boulder, even getting in some multi-pitch practice. As a bonus, we got to do a bike approach and a long tunnel approach. >>>>>>> #rockclimbing #cragclimbing #washingtoncrags #snoqualmiepasswashington #washingtonrock #rockclimbingwa #rockclimbingwashington #snoqualmiepassrock

April is a month of such contrasts in the mountain April is a month of such contrasts in the mountains. The lowland crags offer climbing on warm rock, while the highlands still offer skiing on fresh snow. And the midland trails are open for mountain biking…although you might get surprised by that unexpected snowstorm! >>>> #rockclimbing #cragclimbing #backcountryskiing #xcskiing #crosscountryskiing #mtbiking #mountainbiking
