While the Pinnacle is regarded as one of the best hikes in the local area, we got an extra special treat - the chirping and ribbiting of frogs as they called out for some fine Barry White style bullfrog lovin.

It's about an hour and a half east of Montego Bay on the coast, and may I say, it was a great way to waste our time doing pretty much nothing of consequence other than pool, beach, eat, drink, be entertained, and meander around the flowers (save a side trip to Dunn River Falls). How else could we possibly unwind out of 2012 and move into the new year of 2013?!!

OK, so it's as much of an amusement park as a waterfall, but it's still beautiful - even if it's crowded. In addition, the locals try to sell you anything that they can, and you have to be warned about that since you are a naive cracker, but alas, the climb is spectacular. My only thought is how can so many vacationers like to do this and yet, you don't see them at the really cool waterfalls? Oh wait... let's let them do their other stuff so we can have those waterfalls to ourselves.

What started as a part day trip to Red Rock Canyon Nevada ended up being a full day excursion to get out of Icebox Canyon after Heather wrecked her knee on a descent in the slot canyon. Fortunately, our first help was search and rescue trainer Don Lester and his wife Theresa who just happens to be an RN. There were others too - Las Vegas Metro Police.... Clark County Fire Dept.... an Army guy and his friend.... the girl who offered her shirt to be used as ties for the splint. We owe you many thanks, but it's also important to say how tough Heather was to get out to the stretcher.... 2 miles and 5.5 hours later while descending and ascending bouldered paths in 80° weather.

Rail Trails are awesome! They use existing resources and provide athletic destinations to average people in many forms. What's not to love... especially wen this 1.28mile bridge is over the Hudson at Poughkeepsie?

Voted the #1 state park in all of America for a reason... 3 huge waterfalls, tons of wildlife, starry skies, excellent geology, superb architecture, and overall cleanliness. Well worth a visit to the western side of the Finger Lakes in New York State.

Scott Brown http://www.stackpolebooks.com/contributorinfo.cfm?ContribID=13 (he of the guidebooks) says this is the best view in all of PA. It's either this or the Throne Room for me. There's a lot to fall in love with up here. The steep hike is challenging and it literally feels like it goes off the map at points. In the end, the view with all of the surrounding valleys is all intensive. The question is what do you want in your view? There's a lot of farms and roads and businesses in this view. In the main view of the Throne Room, it's more mountains. Really, it's a toss up.

The most famous part of the Standing Stone Trail... (though there are better views from the Throne Room...)

OK, so it's a part of the Standing Stone Trail, but it's THEE best part of the trail that I've seen. For this and for the fact it could be the best view in all of PA (See the Mid State Trail's Spruce Knob for its competition), it deserves its own album.

From Frew Road, you can access this ridge where lots of boulders jut out in all directions. It seems to be a perfect place for fun if you're a kid or a kid at heart. It's even better when the wildflowers are blooming!

Greenwood Furnace marks the northern entrance to the Standing Stone Trail. When you pass the church and get to the top of the mountain, you feel the winds, which are quite strong as the valley stretches out below. Beautiful scenery well worth the trek north in Central PA's fine mountains.

What was meant to be 72 miles and 6 days ended up just under 20 and 2 days. From the blisters on my feet to drinking too much water and not being able to eat, I got whooped by day 2. The phone call went out at 2 and I got to Meadow Gap to be rescued by my trail angel at 730. That said, from April's hiking beginnings at Angel Falls to less than 4 months later, I was able to haul a huge 50+ pound pack over rocks and up hills with more "skill" than I ever had before. While I failed to make it, I still won by giving it my all and creating a benchmark to beat.

November 9th, 2014 - Route 655 south to the bottom of the Thousand Steps with 20 members of the Sierra Club and 1 dog. A splendid time was had by all. The weather warmed up, and we conquered 9 miles of the trail!

A sweltering hike in the middle of June to the Throne Room and Butler Knob with 9 brave souls, all of whom had lots of fun seeing as far as the haze of the day would allow them to. That said, we beat the rains until the way home.

Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a beautiful old town. It's even better though when you look down on it and the Lehigh Gorge from atop the rockpile that stands over it.

Just off of the Appalachian Trail exists the wall of stone that is Bear Rocks. Dropping 80 feet on the other side, there are plenty of great adventures to be had if only a person walks in the mile or so to it. IF YOU KEEP GOING BEYOND THIS, you will eventually come to the even steeper Knife's Edge, which affords viewers a chance to see the front side of the mountain valley. A quarter of a mile in the other direction is Bake Oven Knob, which is also featured here, where a person can see the front side of the valley as well. Bear Rocks is all about the back valley.

The Appalachian Trail runs from Maine to Georgia, but this is primarily where it runs from Port Clinton and some other spot to the west where Brian and I hiked in 2000. However, the pictures from Swatara State Park, which the AT runs through, are also here.
