All things Death Valley NP. This place is one of our favorites! We’ve explored on our feet, on rubber and down ropes!

Humphrey’s Basin outside of Bishop, CA is a beautiful area to backpack for those who love to explore alpine lakes and the Eastern Sierras. Our friend Misha, who we’d met through the Sierra Club, secured a permit for the trip a few months before, so we tagged along spending four days and three nights in early August 2024. 

The trip was designed for us to hike in and set up a basecamp at Golden Trout Lake and then do some day hikes from there. This meant the crew could bring more gear and food (read: camera tripod and elaborate meals)  than we would for a more rigorous thru hike.

Backpack trip w/ my dad through the main portion of the Grand Canyon with a little bit of ‘backcountry.’ South Kaibab to Phantom Ranch to Horn Creek back up Bright Angel.

Partial backcountry backpack with my dad featuring Alta Peak trail, meadow and peak, bears, offtrail to Moose Lake back down the Lakes Loop.

First trip to Yellowstone staying at Old Faithful and side trips from the car to cover as much ground as possible.
