Hikes and Day-trips

This is where you're going to find the different hikes I've been on as well as directions to them and through them. I'll give distance, and elevation gain where I know it, as well as the expected time it should take you. (My time is often longer as I stop for lots of photo's.)

On the map to the right you'll see the location of most of the hikes here, as well as others that I've done that may not be posted here for one reason or another. This map includes hikes, day-trips and events.

I'm going to do a page of 'guest hikes' too, just as soon as I can, but first I want to get this up and running somewhat. If you have a 'Guest Hike' you want to submit for possible posting, write it up and submit it. Obviously, there is no guarantee that your submission will be posted, but I'll try.

You can contact me through the contact form at the bottom of every page if you have submissions, suggestions or complaints.

Thanks for your help.

NOTICE: For additional photo's from the hikes go to the photo pages.

​If you want more photos than I provide on the hiking pages go to the photo pages.
There you will find a mix from many different times I've done the hike with different lighting,  weather. or people.
I want to keep the hiking pages lean and clean for hiking itself.
