Below is a list of links to new and updated pages between October and the end of December 2017. Although I was able to get on the trail more than last quarter, unexpected off trail distractions continued this quarter. As a result, not much happened on the trail or this blog.

My favorite hike this quarter was my loop hike from Three Points to Mt. Waterman. I enjoyed the sunset hiking the part hiker’s trail, part cross-country route down the west ridge of Mt. Waterman. By the time I made it back to Three Points, the supermoon was out and lighting the way at a brightness that felt as if there were streetlights on the trail (12-3-2017).

Clicking on links below will open the page in a new tab so that it will be easier to follow links on those pages and still get back to this one.
