![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Went up Borrego Palm Canyon a bit. A good amount of water flowing down from Hot Springs Mountain right now and with another storm coming through this week it should be more. The Aardvark fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jan 30, 2024 |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Did a loop that hit up Pyramid Peak, Marble Peak, and Rosa Point over the weekend. The goal was to also bag Mile High Mountain but I was gassed at Rosa Point to add another 1100ft over four miles after going up 4700ft. Never met the guy but Steve Fausset has been the desert peak muse for my friends and I, his name is on a bunch of the registers back to the 90s, so it was sad but fitting to find out he passed on this way.

Cross posting from the hiking thread: I was out at RMNP on Saturday to hike up a mountain called Mt Alice. As usual, the earlier you arrive the fewer the people and the further into the wilderness you go the people disappear as well. Got lucky with the sunrise right as I got to a good vantage point ![]() ![]() Then it was on to Lion Lake #1 followed by Lion Lake #2 followed by the aptly named Snowbank Lake. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It was endless tundra and rock until the summit. ![]() Supposedly the views are better from the next closest peak but I elected to go the other way on the way back. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Going back the other way to Boulder-Grand Pass is fine until the descent off the plateau. It's a real lovely chute with tons of sand and loose rock. By far the worst part of the hike. ![]() ![]() Apparently this lake is called Lake of Many Winds ![]() There were tons and tons of wildflowers, I thought these were the coolest ![]() ![]() Back to Thunder Lake before the long trek out. ![]() Ended up being 18 miles roundtrip and close to 5000 feet of climbing. Also it was hot. At over 13300 feet it was just barely what I would call cool. And as I went down it just got hotter and hotter. Dunked my hat into every stream I passed to try and keep cool. Not sure what it was about the exertion or the heat but I don't think I slept more than two hours that night, fairly typical for me after big days like this.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Dropped down into a spot where Cleveland National Forest and Anza Borrego Desert State Park meet on Saturday. Pretty hot day, and hopefully one of the last hot weekends here so desert hiking can start again.

been working in southeastern Alaska a few weeks, and getting some great weather for once. Seeing some incredibly beautiful and remote areas that are sketchy as hell to boat in lol Of course it's impossible to capture the majesty on a cheap phone, but just wanted to share some of the experience if I could. This kind of PNW scenery has always captivated me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I don't even really make enough money at this to rent an apartment solo, much less buy a house by a lake some days its enough to just be on the water in the sunshine tho ![]()
