Philmont Scout Ranch 2024
Caleb and I got to participate with his Scout Troop on a 12 day trek (12-14) in the Rocky Mountains of NM, on Philmont Scout Ranch in early June. We hiked somewhere over 70 miles when all was said and done, hit several mountain peaks, and went as high as 11,300ft. The physical aspect of incline plus 40+lbs was hard, even with training, but our bodies got used to it around day 4. The program activities kept things exciting, turns out we're both pretty good at spar pole climbing, and the views were insane. If you have a chance to participate, we highly recommend.
When hiking always practice the Leave No Trace principles and let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return.

Since we are involved in scouting we carry the 10 (for BSA Scouts) and 6 (for Cubscout) essentials.

6 Waterfalls at Hanging Rock State Park
Переглядів 84Рік тому
Hanging Rock State Park in Danbury, NC has 5 mapped waterfalls, a rock garden and a cave. But, we also found a "secret" off-trail waterfall. The hike up to the namesake Hanging Rock was not that long but very steep and rocky. It was well worth the effort for that view!!

Bucket list item for Mama Bear in seeing manatees close up. The rangers said they counted 379 manatees at Blue Springs State Park in Orange City, FL 1/28/23. We got their 30mins before the park opened and were 50 cars back, so if you plan to go, get there early to assure entry.

Waterfalls and Cave at Hocking Hills State Park

This was one of the most amazing and beautiful places we've been to! Even with the ongoing drought causing some waterfalls to be trickles, it was beautiful. The cliff faces on the hike to/from Rock House cave was breathtaking. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and go!

Waterfalls on Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Roaring Fork Motor Trail - Grotto Falls & Bears

We visited the GSMNP and took a drive on the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. We hiked to Grotto Falls, stopped by a no named waterfall just up the road from A Place of a Thousand Drips. We saw a mama bear with two cubs deep in the woods, then later saw a lone bear very near the road. The motor trail was a one way roughly 5 mile loop, right outside Gatlinburg, and worth the drive. There are num...

    I was lucky enough to go there twice, in 1974 and 1975. We certainly carried smaller packs and much less ‘stuff.’ Hope you had a great time!

    Great video with a valuable after-action report. It sounds like your crew was squared-away and had good leadership. Be prepared.
