Spent a few morning hours shooting with my good friend Mike Karr. We visited a few spots that didn't require too much bushwhacken because of a healing knee.
After a quick shoot at Elowah we hoofed it up through Pony-tail Falls and ended up a mile or so above above Triple Falls on Oneonta Creek. The creek up there had a couple nice spots but we both seemed to think that the Fall season would be the best time to shoot Upper Oneonta Creek due to the numerous Maples in the area.
It seems my knee is going to take longer than i originally hoped and therefore I have to visit the usual spots that aren't too far off trail. Climbing over obstacles and slipping in the creeks is a killer on the left knee.
So the plan is to be fairly conservative for now so in July and August I can hopefully make it up to the upper reaches of Mt. Hood and Jefferson...we'll see though.
The Shot >> This was taken up above Triple Falls a ways. The greens were intense and the rain was falling. I know with the way the weather has been the last two months...its hard to believe. LOL.

The first full size images I've uploaded I was told I take good trail pics so here's a lot for you to choose from.
Boynton Canyon Trail
Boynton Canyon Trail 2009-03-11: For our mid-week hike, we hiked Boynton Canyon Trail. The trail runs alongside Enchantment Resort at the beginning of the canyon, and is a very popular, high use trail. There are several well-known ruins in the canyon. Near the beginning of the trail is a side trail called Vista Trail leading up to a view up-canyon and of the surrounding scenery. Vista Trail ends at an area regarded by many as one of Sedona’s spiritual vortex sites.
The trail was quite busy and, like many of our fellow hikers, we headed up Vista Trail. After returning to Boynton Trail, we went off-trail further on, looking for a route up on the ledges along the canyon wall. We hit a wall where we’d hoped to find a route between two cliff walls, but we did enjoy the views and found a tiny cave along the cliff.
We headed up the canyon, which become progressively more heavily treed, and ponderosa pines become increasingly numerous. The near the end of the canyon, the trail ascends a steep section of slickrock and ends at a sign discouraging off-trail hiking in the area. The view of the canyon is fantastic, and it is possible to follow the ledge to the right around to get views up the canyon.
To get to this trail head you have to walk across the street from the cabin, and then it's right there.
Bond Creek Trail No. 21. Flathead National Forest, Montana.
Loy Canyon Trail is west of Sedona, Arizona in Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness. The trail was originally built to move livestock to and from summer pastures above the canyon's rim. The trail is easy until it reaches the end of the canyon, where it ascends to meet Secret Mountain Trail.
Day 2: Buck Creek to Hamilton Lake. I tried to record all the trail signs at all the junctions we encountered.
Troodos Nature Trails. The walking trails of the Troodos area, are of immense beauty and peace. Feel the unpolluted and clean air, the beauty of the forest and be ready for unique experiences, in natural waterfalls and places where, you can become one with nature!
Atalanti national path.The trail goes around Chionistra mountain at an altitude of 1,700¬-1,750 metres, passing through dense areas of black pine trees and Foetid Juniper. One of the largest trees ¬ Foetid Juniper ¬ is found on the trail; it is 800 years old. There are wonderful views of all the areas of the island. The entrance tunnel of the chrome mine ¬ which has been out of service since 1982 is particularly interesting.
Cyprus is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, off the coasts of Syria and Turkey.Cyprus is the third largest and third most populous island in the Mediterranean, and a member state of the European Union. It is located south of Turkey, west of Syria and Lebanon, northwest of Israel, north of Egypt and east of Greece.
Trail along creek above Cement and Masonry Tanks.
2009-05-06: On the fourth day of our camping trip on the Mogollon Rim above Sedona, we headed to Secret Mountain Trail #109. The Mangums (authors of Flagstaff Hikes) list this as one of their favorite trails, mentioning they usually stop just past Secret Cabin on the edge of the mountain where there’s a nice view. The weather was unseasonably hot, and we chose this trail not only because it’s interesting, but because it stays at fairly high elevation (instead of diving down into a canyon like so many of the trails in this area).
The trail starts off running along a bit of a ridge up to a knob where there are some fantastic views. Diving down to a narrow saddle, the trail meets the top of Loy Canyon Trail, then climbs up to a fairly flat run. Around 1.0 mile are the remains of an old dry tank and corral. It’s almost easy to miss the corral because there’s just a few posts left, as well as a rusty old dredge. Off to the left just past the corral is Johnson Tank. The tank wall reveals signs of masonry work where the dirt has eroded away.
Past Johnson Tank, the trail runs above and to the left of a ravine, where two more tanks hold water. The first, Masonry Tank, is built using local stones to dam a narrow, rocky section of the creek bed. The dam creates a small, shallow pond. Below Masonry Tank is Cement Tank, created from three slabs of preformed concrete. This dam creates a rather large, long, and narrow pond which runs back almost to Masonry Tank. There is a rough footpath running from Cement Tank to above Masonry Tank, a lovely diversion from the main trail. According to the Mangums, this area of forest is virgin.
Near Cement Tank, the trail descends to a bench along the creek bed where another, more complete corral and Secret Cabin are situated (1.8 miles from the trailhead). Secret Cabin is in fair shape, its walls standing but its roof has collapsed. According to the Mangums, the cabin was built as a failed homestead, and was later inhabited by a family of polygamous Latter Day Saints escaping persecution, then horse thieves who’d bring stolen horses up Loy Canyon from Sedona en route to Flagstaff and northern destinations.
Heading uphill past the cabin, the trail leads up to a ridge with a nice view and more corrals. The main trail leads off to the left for another 2.8 miles. Since it was pretty hot weather, we decided to follow the Mangums' recommendation: we had lunch in the shade of a tree, then turned around and headed back to the trailhead, diverting down into the ravine to explore the tanks on the way back.
Beautiful morning on the trail to Mt. Shirouma, from Korenge-san (小蓮華山 - 2766m), facing northwest. Shirouma (白馬 - 2932m), the highest mountain on this series of trail is to the left; the days final destination at the very left (12hours away). The start point is Hakuba Oike (白馬大池 - 2380m), the tarn to the very right.
This is a panorama of five images - my first stitched image! Full size measures 1.4m long.
Yes, I know there is barreling around the centre sky portion (since I shot at 27mm), but the best I can do, and I'm not going to be back there anytime soon..

The TAG trailed facing south on 192 into Columbia on Friday morning, which usually means that the power would have led the next day's 12R. This time, however, the TAG unfortunately was turned leading to an early morning trail fail at the only local spot for decent morning light on a northbound out of Columbia.

Up on Grand Ridge, walking "the highest maintained tread in the park" - bragging rights. At 6,600 feet, it's only about 150 feet higher than our house, but definitely in a different world.

Summer 2015: "Up was Down"
July 6th: Reclaiming Hurricane Ridge; Obstruction Point.
Materials: Camera, Mancala stones, rook, Lightroom, background
Idea: I wanted to show the mancala stones creating a trail to the rook, because I thought it looked like a road to a castle. The composition I chose to use was curves.
Process: I arranged the mancala stones into a curve and put the rook at the end. Then I took the photo and edited it in Lightroom.
The way of many trails in the lowlands of the PNW is green. The moist climate creates a preponderance of green.
AASHTO's Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities illustrates drivers on a street facing a YIELD sign when approaching a trail crossing. But under Washington law, drivers don't have to simply yield, they must "stop and remain stopped" for an occupied crosswalk.
MUTCD has a standard sign for that, but it only references stopping for pedestrians in the crosswalk, while Washington law specifically allows bicycles to ride along crosswalks and requires drivers to stop for both bicycles and pedestrians in crosswalks.
This quick powerpoint mockup suggests tweaks to AASHTO's standard design illustration to account for those differences in Washington law,
(Disclaimer: I'm not a traffic engineer or an attorney, just familiar with these issues from years of involvement in public works and decades of cycling. If your city actually wants to make its trail crossings consistent with state law, you'll need the city engineer to come up with official plans.)
Logan Pass

As you climb up the gradual slope of the Hidden Lake Trail, and look north you see the Garden Wall...a long, knife-like ridge. In the foreground, the protruding rocks were formed by an ancient inland sea that once covered the area.

This is the hiking trail right across the road from the Hot Springs parking lot. Oak hills, great views & steep climbs. Mountain bike, hike or horseback. This lower Kern River Canyon went thru a wildfire in summer of 2010, so charred remains and mud slides will be common for a few years.
David Miller Trail
**Sedona Loop Hike - Secret Canyon, David Miller, Bear Sign, and Dry Creek Trails 2009-03-18: With the increasingly long days, we decided to hike the Secret Canyon, Dave Miller, Bear Sign, and Dry Creek loop for our midweek hike. The entire loop is approximately 6.5 miles long. The loop starts at Secret Canyon trailhead, following the first two miles of the trail through wide open canyon with fantasic redrock views.
David Miller Trail comes in from the left right before Secret Canyon Trail turns to go deep into Secret Canyon. David Miller serves as a joiner trail between Secret Canyon and Bear Sign Trails. The trail is one mile long, with a moderately strenuous (but thankfully short, quarter mile) climb up to a pass. The views from the trail are absolutely fantastic, however the pass itself is fairly heavily treed, so be the best views are from the trail before reaching the pass. The trail on the Bear Sign Canyon side of the pass is steeper and the canyon is heavily forested. The descent from the pass to the canyon floor is approximately 200 vertical feet.
Turning right on Bear Sign Trail leads 2.25 miles through the heavily forested, steep, narrow canyon. The canyon is very pretty, and a great hike for escaping the heat on warmer days. The trail drops down into the wash nears the end, joining up at Dry Creek Trail where two drainages meet. Veering left on Dry Creek Trail, the trail offers some nice canyon views before arriving at the Dry Creek/Vultee’s Arch trailhead after 0.75 mile. Secret Canyon trailhead is a mile hike down the dirt road from the Dry Creek/Vultee’s Arch trailhead.
