Excellent, thanks!

I submitted permits today, with a preferred starting point at Box Canyon. We're traveling by car, and I'm wondering if we can park at the trailhead for the duration of our hike. Anyone know?

As a 'big bottomed girl', Gander Mountain is one of the only places that I can get hiking and snow pants that fit. All the other outlets seem to believe that only skinny women like to be active...

It definitely is beautiful, Acacia. Unfortunately, it looks like the road to crabtree camp is closed, likely due to snow. This is what we're coming up against in all of our inquiries so far. ...

We're hoping to do a 3 day backpacking trip in California, anywhere south of Napa, the second week of May. We've got some decent backpacking skills, but haven't hiked at higher elevations. Highest...

I have been using trail runners exclusively for two years on hikes now, and love them. I like that they are lightweight and dry quickly. I always thought I had weak ankles, but after thorough...

I always take my Thermarest down pillow (5.6 oz) & my Alite Monarch chair (1lb). My trips just aren't comfortable without them.

Thanks everyone for weighing in. It sounds like a good 3 season tent is the way to go. We might be able to borrow one from a friend, in that case.

My husband and I are hammock campers, but we're hoping to hike the Grand Canyon in late January. We are going to need to buy a winter tent. Already our packs are going to be heavier because of the...

I carried my iPad mini in a Lifeproof case on my 24 day thru hike of the River to River trail. I used it to read as well as to blog every day, and it was indispensable. It was a lot of extra...

Andy, if you do complete an ArcMap project, I would love to link to it from our R2R page. Please drop me a note if it comes to pass.

Scott - you are a champion of the trail, to be sure! Thank...

I just went on a backpacking trip in the Seven Devils Mountains & Hells Canyon and got to use Teton Sports Escape4300. It's 70 liters, well designed and comfortable. (even in the 107 degree temps we...

Thanks to everyone for all of the advice! We just got back from a hiking/rafting trip in Idaho, and I got caught up in all of that before I was able to get back to the thread. (great trip, too!)...

My husband and I are hoping to do a short backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon this January. 3 or 4 days would be ideal, but a little longer would be just fine. We are wholly unfamiliar with the...

I should have taken notice of my ears burning! Thanks for the kind words you guys. I'm really glad that Scott has his site up - its got some terrific photos and trail descriptions. Its everything...

We had similar issues with that portion of the trail, and I think we even saw the same tree. :)

Thanks for the kind words about the blog! We had a great time putting it all together. For anyone...

I've already started drinking Soylent, a complete meal replacement beverage. I'm currently aiming to replace 90% of my meals this way, and believe I can replicate that on the trail.

My husband and I are 42 and we just completed our first long hike this summer, in the midwest. (no mountains) We are a bit overweight and in average physical shape for our age/weight range. I...

Thank you for the advice about the Knobstone trail! Its very helpful. :) We were hoping to do a shorter trail next summer, and were considering this one, but it sounds like it might be a bit...

Thanks for the encouragement Just Bill. We skipped the Root Beer Saloon in favor of the Peach Barn Cafe after reading several negative reviews on TripAdvisor. We loved the cafe, the staff, and the...

I got this bottle for our oil, and we had no leak issues for our entire hike.

I believe most people complete it in 10 to 12 days. We met one ambitious hiker going the other direction who was clocking 26 miles a day. I think with all of our mishaps, we averaged about 8 miles...

We recently completed the River to River trail. It was our first backpacking trip, and we did it slowly over 24 days. We went West to East, and cannot imagine why anyone would want to go the other...
