    Posted by Jeff on May 14, 2023 at 12:41 pm

    How are you making your summer an adventurous one?

    Here are a few adventures I have lined up:

    • Thru-hiking the Coast-to-Coast Walk across England (technically in spring)
    • Completing the Central Oregon Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge (and maybe one more if I can squeeze it in)
    • Backpacking in the Sierra Mountains
    • Backpacking the Timberline Trail around Mount Hood
    • At least one bikepacking trip

    What’s are some of your adventure goals for this summer?

    • Complete the SoCal 6 Pack challenge

    • Backpack to the Mount Whitney Summit

    • Backpacking Kalalau Trail on Napali Coast, Kauai (Labor Day)

    Perhaps a bit ambitious but we are going for it this year! Hope to make some friends along the way!!

      Where do you think you’ve gone wrong? Is the walk up system difficult?

      After reviewing the permit page for Sequioa, the permit period ends 9/23 so permits are a non factor. I will just need some help from the actual gods to keep the weather clear!

    I’ll be excited just to finish our Arizona Summer 6 pack challenge. Humphreys has always been a “I can’t do that” hike and I will do it this Fall. It may take that long for the snow to melt. 🤠
