Redemption in Kansas
If you recall, we went for the Kansas state highpoint back on Memorial Day and didn’t make it. It was now time for redemption in Kansas with some unfinished business to tend to! The highest point in Kansas is on a gentle slope… out in the middle of miles and miles of remote farmland….
Timp Traverse from North to South
My 10th summit of Mt. Timpanogos as part of a traverse from north to south. Headed up the northeast ridge of Timp to begin a traverse across the top from the North. Full trip report coming soon…
A Grand View of the Grand Teton
My daughter had another wedding to attend in Idaho Falls this weekend. Since she didn’t want to go up there alone for the second weekend in a row, she asked if I wanted to go with her. It only took a split-second for me to see this opportunity to finally hike Wyoming’s, Table Mountain! Face…

Woo hoo, got Elbert too!!
Woo hoo, got Elbert too!! Gorgeous day here in Leadville to touch the top of Colorado (also the 2nd tallest peak in the lower 48). Went up one way, came down another to make it a loop back to the car. Blue skies, not much wind, no issues with snow. Turned out to be a…
