HI, I have just started my own 100 hike challenge. Can you give me any hints on how to make it better? Thanks much!

Hi Anon!

Thanks! I'm not sure what advice I'd give on taking a 10-year old. Some studies suggest kids do better at acclimating, but I'd check with your pediatrician first. As far as physical difficulty, the trail is straight forward and not difficult for someone in good shape.

Kolby, I stumbled on your site and it's fantastic. Is this a hike you would recommend for a 10 yr old boy?

Bears are always a concern in the Inyo National Forest. I didn't see any, but we saw quite a few deer. I came face-to-face with one on a late night trip to the toilette, which I'm certain caused a mild heart attack.

Very sad indeed. The trail above the falls to Dawn Mine was one of my absolute favorites. It was such a beautiful canyon.

Awesome trip report. This area is on my list and just got bumped up a few notches. Great photos. Any bear issues or concerns?

Even though this album is new, just one of your pics that you published last year showing the view from Kearsarge Pass was enough me to inspire me to also do this hike last summer. It's incredibly beautiful, and can give anyone who wants to do this as a dayhike a real taste of what it's like to backpack in the Sierra. Thanks for sharing it, Kolby.

Thanks! Yes, I've made this site a higher priority. I've got a lot of hikes to share! I've been juggling posts over at thehikeguy.com as well.

I just realized how much I missed reading about your Epic Adventures. Nice job. And way-cool that you were rec-a-nized on the trail!

The Hike Guy — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:38:30 -0000

No kidding? That's cool! Did you guys park at the Sandstone Peak Trailhead and then do the loop? If you're the three I'm thinking of, you came onto the Misha Mokwa Trail just as we did, passing each other a few times during the day, right?

We were there this past weekend 01/08/11 :) One girl and two guys (one with an neon green backpack) and saw you :D
It was our first time there and it won't be the last.

Re: Hike 37 – Wizard Island, Crater Lake NP

Just went there the other day for a field trip. It gets a little boring since I've been there a million times. It was soooooo cold.

I never got to hike this one before the fire. Looks like a nice canyon

Man, I miss these! Very nice... (And we're getting closer to the hike I went on!) :-)

The "dumbstruck" beetle is the longhorn beetle Callimoxys sanguinicollis and the one labeled as Eumecomera is the blister beetle Lytta stygica

We leave for Crater Lake in 15 days. I booked our reservations a year ago. Your pictures and comments make me want to leave today! Feeling blessed to live in the PNW, I will be checking out your other hikes in this area.

Re: Hike 27 – The Grotto Trail

David Lockeretz — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:41:56 -0000

The Grotto is a nice trail, I'll have to go out there and check it out again. Usually when I go that far into the Santa Monica Mountains (and yes, it is far) I go up to Sandstone Peak, which is a great hike you should check out if you haven't. Keep up the good work!

Nice hike pictures! Congratulations on making your 100 hike goal.
