Mount Rose Campground, Tahoe Rim Trail – Day 9

Jul 25, ’14 · by Denise · in On Adventures

Beginning June 25, 2014 I thru-hiked the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT), circling Lake Tahoe in 12 days. Accompanied by my friend and fellow blogger, Trails, we bravely took on this 165+ mile loop. I will be blogging a day-by-day rundown of each day’s hike, night’s campsite, and my contemplations while beating down miles. Check out my complete trip report for the TRT here – This is day 9. One of the peculiar…

Mud Lake, Tahoe Rim Trail – Day 8

Jul 24, ’14 · by Denise · in On Adventures

I talked about the Pacific Crest Trail hikers we had met while the Tahoe Rim Trail overlapped with the Pacific Crest Trail, but what about our fellow TRT thru-hikers? Thru-hiking the TRT has it’s perks, like discovering Lake Tahoe beyond the casinos and ski resorts in a way not many else have on this relatively new trail. And, speaking practically, TRT thru-hikers don’t have to quit their jobs for a 2 week trek. I mean, why not?

Watson Lake, Tahoe Rim Trail – Day 7

Jul 22, ’14 · by Denise · in On Adventures

Lake Tahoe is known for it’s crystal clear blue waters, a trait it has partially due to an active sediment filtering habitat surrounding the lake. I knew this, but it did not hit me that this would affect water filters until the very beautiful Star Lake (way back on day 1 of hiking) clogged a hardy MSR ceramic filter with silt -And day 1 was only a brief preview of how very silty these lakes surrounding Tahoe can get…

PCT Creekside Camp, Tahoe Rim Trail – Day 5

Jul 20, ’14 · by Denise · in On Adventures

The mosquitoes I tangoed with at Middle Velma Lake on camp night 4 were only a warm-up. The real deal was to be found on day 5, as we exited the Desolation Wilderness and hiked down the TRT to camp besides an unnamed small creek about a mile after Bear Creek.

I am calling camp on night 5 “PCT Creekside Camp” because we did see the most number of PCT hikers passing through here…

The hike to Tueeulala falls, Yosemite

Tueeulala Fall – Hetch Hetchy Valley’s Bridal Veil

Apr 18, ’14 · by Denise · in On Adventures, Yosemite Day Hike

Have you heard about the rock slide that happened in the beginning of this month in Hetch Hetchy? It is blocking the trail just past the Wapama Falls footbridges – meaning it shouldn’t affect day hikers too much, unless your game plan was to power hike to Rancheria Falls. Seriously, don’t let this deter you from enjoying Hetch Hetchy’s first two waterfalls, Tueeulala and Wapama falls, this spring. I was hiking in…

Hite Cove: California Wildflowers with Ruins

Hite Cove: California Wildflowers with a Side of Ruins

Mar 26, ’14 · by Denise · in On Adventures, Yosemite Day Hike

Guess what season it is? … California Poppy Season! Last weekend’s arrival of California’s poppies swept aside any previous hiking plans (Sorry Little Nellie Falls, check you latter) and instead filled my head with visions of hiking in sandals through fields tinged with orange. And not just any trail would do – this year I was going to get to Hite Cove, damn it! Hite Cove Distance: 9-ish mile out…

Craig Lake State Park, Michigan's most remote state park

Winter Camping Tips from Michigan’s Most Remote State Park – Craig Lake

Feb 20, ’14 · by Denise · in On Adventures

I got off the phone a little while ago with my friend Jacquie – one friend from the group of  Michigan Tech friends I do a yearly summer trip with – discussing possible plans & how I could maybe merge running a marathon into a grand summer trip? I am excited and hopeful that everything may yet fall into place, but then again if it doesn’t it wouldn’t be our…
