TahoePix- Singletrack Sweetness
Somewhere in the middle of a nearly 3,000 vertical foot descent (mostly singletrack). In Fall, 2012 the US Forest Service opened the Star Lake Connector trail- miles of switchbacking goodness through incredible fields of granite. It’s rideable in both directions too (though quite the climb to around 9,000′ elevation). Ride it in the fall, and… Read More ›
In search of Hidden Waterfalls- Dawn Falls
Dawn Falls lies in the shadow of Mt. Tamalpais, near Larkspur, CA. It’s tucked into a shady and cool canyon, accessible from several neighborhood access points. Fortunately, Dawn Falls requires a bit of a walk from every access point, which cuts down on the number of visitors. (It’s also great terrain for trail running, though… Read More ›

Life outside Tahoe. Singletrack near Crested Butte Colorado. Waist deep wildflowers, views like this, and oh yeah, an epic descent. I’m getting an endorphin high just reliving the ride.
Uplifting Fog

It was chilly, cold and foggy when I left the house on my mountain bike. My new Pentax Optio W90 waterproof digital camera had just… Read More ›
Reports from Kauai- Hiking Waimea Canyon
Waimea Canyon, on Kauai’s Northwest was one of the great joys and great frustrations of our trip. The scope of it was totally unexpected, and we needed at least one more full day to explore and hike the area. Waimea Canyon truly lives up to its nickname “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” Koke’e State… Read More ›
Reports from Kauai- Hiking the Okolehao Trail (advanced version)
The traditional ‘Okolehao trail is a nice hike in the jungle that is featured in many guidebooks. The trail is an access road (to service the powerlines that run across the ridge) for the first three quarters of a mile. After passing under the powerlines the access road becomes a trail and becomes more interesting… Read More ›
Reports from Kauai- Hiking the Na Pali Coast (Kalalau Trail)
The Na Pali Coast (Kalalau Trail), on Kauai’s North Shore is widely considered to be one of the world’s top hikes (at least in the magazines). It is also Hawaii’s most popular hike. During our week long trip, we made two trips out the Kalalau Trail, to each of its noted waterfalls, Hanakapi’ai and Hanakoa… Read More ›
