This is the thread where ill post all my pictures from my hiking adventures. You can do the same. Right here in this thread. Maybe even tell you a little bit about the hike as well!

Image

Uneva Peak. Just under 7 miles. Beginning elevation of about 10,500 and topping out around 12,600'.

It starts at the top of Vail Pass which is nice to start up so high (quicker to the peak views) but also right along the interstate so the first .5 mile is loud. Gentle then steep. Great views. Fuck the western fires and haze.

The end

We’re gearing up for a five day pack packing trip in September. Last weekend we did a hard 17km hike with lots of elevation and some tricky terrain. Yesterday was an easy 14km Ike in the rain. Today was a 9km urban hike with a 30lb pack.

Not to worry, no flights involved this trip. We will however be checking into Victoria’s swankiest hotel straight from the trail. I will enjoy the walk through the lobby and laugh at the dirty looks.

Did 22km (~13.6 miles) hike yesterday which took a bit over 4 and a half hours. The weather was nice ~20 celcius and a light rain at the end. I was almost hit by a thunder storm but got back to the car before it was directly above. Few shots I took:
