"Yuppie 911" strains backcountry rescuers - 0 views

Jeff D on 26 Oct 09

Beyond the growing number of questionable incidences, the article was prompted by the story of a group of hikers in the Grand Canyon that activated their emergency beacon three times over the course of three days! Each time a helicopter was mobilized for a potential rescue.\n\nOn the third mobilization, rescuers finally took the four hikers off the trail and cited the leader for "creating a hazardous condition" for the rescue teams.

The Shining Rock Wilderness in North Carolina is truly a hikers paradise. The crown jewel in the wilderness is the Art Loeb Trail, which traverses the peaks, balds and ridgelines for more than 30 miles and provides access to Cold Mountain, the mountain made famous by the recent movie.

Hiking the Grand Canyon: Rim to Rim - 1 views

Jeff D on 03 Nov 09

For many hikers, a "bucket list" or "life list" just wouldn't be complete unless it included a rim to rim hike across the Grand Canyon. I was fortunate enough to do just that over the Memorial Day weekend in 1996 with three fellow hikers.

Each day, on average, there were 11.2 search and rescue (SAR) incidents in our national park system. Most are concentrated in just 5 park units. The most likely people to require a rescue are males, hikers and boaters.

The Southern Appalachian Beer Guide - 0 views

Jeff D on 03 Jun 09

After a long day on the trail, some/lots/most/all hikers like to kick back with a nice cold beer, preferably a craft or microbrew. The good people over at Blue Ridge Outdoors recently developed the Southern Appalachian Beer Guide to point us in the right direction after we step off the trail.

In many ways the Alaska Basin has taken on mythical status for those that have explored it, and those that have only heard about it. Unfortunately for day hikers getting there is nearly impossible. However, there is one route that will allow you to explore its beautiful alpine meadows and lakes.

I always wanted to go to Alaska for a ski vacation trip, but going to Grand Teton is also a good idea.
