Hiking Thread

Hope this isn't a repost but i searched and couldn't find anywhere where there was a hiking thread.

What trails do you guys and gals like to hike? Post some pics! Tell some stories!

What gear do you use? Do you hike for exercise? Fun? Hobby?


Here is one of my favorite hikes.

Chumash trail- about 1.5 miles (3 round trip). Elevation gain is 1,255. Start from sea level and its literally straight up. Takes about an hour and a half.

Here is a pic from the bottom


Pic from the top


Right now I'm wearing a pair of red wing boots, and i wear a 50lb weight vest and a camel back when i hike.


Hopefully we can see some good hikes on here!

 

Moab, Utah.

Can't remember the name of the trail to get here. But is was worth the ride and hike...

 

DANG! what a view! How long did it take you to get to the top?

 

Good thread man! My family has a cabin by Yosemite, so ill post some pictures up in here soon

 

Can't wait to see them, i love that area up there. My parents have a condo up in mammoth and there some good hiking up there.

 

I pulled up a few, not the best but its what i have for now

 

Since I have the file open here's some pics from Acadia National Park in Maine.

Hiking up Dorr Mountain...and some other pics.

What a beautiful place.

 

We left from the slickrock trailhead (?) and biked for about 1 and a half or two hours. Then climbed and hiked around 45 minutes to get there.

That's the La Sal Mountain range in the background.

If you like to bike and hike go there. BEST mountain-biking in the world. And you can do the ATV thing, too.

 

Absolutely beautiful. Where is it?

Edit: Ohhh. I read back in the thread. Yosemite. That's a helluva coincidence. That's where we have been talking about for our next National Park. Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

There all in Yosemite National Park, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California

 

Dylan,

Where is Chumash?

 

You lucky guys in California.

All that scenery...and great wine, too

 

Yeah...and it was 80 degrees today haha

 

Chumash is off of PCH in point mugu, just before malibu. all the hiking along PCH is awesome

 

utah has the gnarly downhill biking too, im hoping to watch the redbul rampage there next year.

so crazy! been loving this week. tomorrow is supposed to be hotter!

 

Should have known it was Cali.

Is Winter in Ohio over yet?

The PCH (beginning to end) is on my bucket list...

 

Dylan, what's up with that vid?

Just noticed it. Looks like a bottle rocket up your @ss

Evidently a great photo op gone wrong...ha

Hope there was no damage, if you know what I mean

 

old rag in sperryvile, VA. its about a 8.5 mile circuit with 2000+ ft of elevation (starts around 1000 ft and climbs to 3300ft. wish i had some pics. awesome bouldering at the top with some spalunking too, great wildlife and amazing 360* views. check this hike out!!

 

Is it near the Blue Ridge Parkway or the Smokies? Plan on going there for some bike and hike...

 

I'll second that. Was up there for 4th of July one year. I had a great time hiking the beehive. Climbing a nearly shear rock face with these giant steel staples hanging out like ladder rungs. Alot of fun!
