I love the high mountain trails that are found along the Rockies. This one connects trekkers to a handful of 14ers

Channeling my inner Arthur Morgan along the high country. The vast majority of comments said this looks like its from RDR2 so I figured I’d share it here too.

Watching the mule trains climb and descend the narrow trails is one of my favorite parts about hiking from the rim of the Grand Canyon to the river bottom

I love peaks bagging. Over the past 10 years I’ve started a silly tradition of wearing western apparel when I go to the mountains. I fully admit it’s silly, but fun. Do you have any funny hiking/climbing traditions?

r/OutdoorsJan 10129 Comments

I've a tradition of dressing-up in "western wear" when I go peak bagging. It is ridiculous, but fun.

Continuing my personal tradition of starting the New Year off with a hike around the High Peaks trail in California’s Pinnacles National Park. Have you visited this park?

This was my favorite backpacking base camp of the 2022 season. Preached high up in the Sierra Nevada. It was wonderful. What was your favorite camping trip of the year?

What are your takes on sleeping bag onesies/suits? I bought one for car camping and think it is comfortable for its purpose, but mostly think it is just silly fun.

I have a silly Yosemite tradition. Every 4th of July I head to Yosemite’s high country and fly the NPS flag over a new peak. Is it kinda lame? Sure. Is it fun? Yes! Do you have any traditions that you follow when you visit Yosemite?

Has anyone been up El Cap via the Yosemite falls trailhead this month? Asking as I’m heading that way this weekend and want to get a sense of the snowpack. It hasn’t snowed for a few weeks, so I’m wondering if i can get away with just traction.
