    Video TR (non-skiing): Camping Flagstaff/Sedona/Grand Canyon

    Bingo. You knew what I hoped to see, without me saying it :-$ Thanks, this is all the info I need. This is a very busy weekend coming up in Moab for some reason so there shouldn't be a shortage of people running the trail. Anybody know why, by the way? Some people from Colorado said they...

    Video TR (non-skiing): Camping Flagstaff/Sedona/Grand Canyon

    So... would you guys suggest a vantage point I can easily hike to, that would give me maximum opportunity to see & photograph some of this action up close? Is it worthwhile, if you don't have any skin in the game? I have gone through a bunch of the videos on YouTube and somewhat familiar with...

    Video TR (non-skiing): Camping Flagstaff/Sedona/Grand Canyon

    Imma troll Tony for a bit :) Hey Tony, this is what passes for a state park in Utah (Dead Horse Point); it has two national parks and a mtn biking mecca next to it: ...and that's the Colorado, winding through the canyon. It has a cooler name than "Grand Canyon" (obvious, much?) The town is...

    Video TR (non-skiing): Camping Flagstaff/Sedona/Grand Canyon

    Admin sez: " I'm not sure that a Red subscription (which I have as well) provides any monetization as of course, a Red subscriber sees no ads." Part of the spiel when I first signed up was, "support the content creators directly" or some such. Which led me to believe that they split...

    Video TR (non-skiing): Camping Flagstaff/Sedona/Grand Canyon

    Really professional lookin' videos you got there. Watched episodes 2 and 3. Well-edited; soundtrack was right on spot and transitions were seamless. Somewhat reminiscent of Rick Steves' Europe, in tone -- and I don't mean his cloyingly dorky mannerisms. The aerial shots must have cost a fortune...

    Picked up a drone

    Just now got an ad for DJI drones in my facebook feed. Lately, it has been kinda spooky. I buy something at Smith's, there is an ad for a similar item on fb; I eat at a hamburger joint -- bam, ad for their competitor. This, despite having restricted fb's access as much as I could (or so I...

    Picked up a drone

    I would hope so. Same thing happened with Jetskis (and snowmobiles?) but not before years of annoying beachgoers where I was at the time in Chicago. I might be over-sensitive but given how things are regulated to death in every other realm, don't understand how excessive noise is usually given a...

    Picked up a drone

    I can't imagine. Park Service banned these nuisances early on and rightly so. Right now, you can step aside from the selfie-mad tourists and enjoy any of the iconic vistas in S Utah in relative peace and quiet. With drones, you would have constant buzzing in your ear unless you get a backcountry...

    (non-skiing) TR: Camping Telluride, Silverton & Mesa Verde

    I was at Bryce this past June and found plenty of dispersed camping within a mile of the entrance, arriving Friday evening. It was quite the revelation that this was possible. But the two times before that: first, I used a campsite within the park, because I was new to camping and timid. The...

    (non-skiing) TR: Camping Telluride, Silverton & Mesa Verde

    You'd think that smoke-filled skies for the last two weeks would have moved me to check on the source, especially given where I intended to travel. But you'd be wrong. Things have gone so smoothly all summer in my travels that I must have become complacent. So all those links above have been...

    (non-skiing) TR: Camping Telluride, Silverton & Mesa Verde

    Must... go... soon... I have met some cool people here in gardiner and it is so comfortable that I've been putting off the long drive to glacier. But now maybe I will change course entirely and head over to this area. Any idea when peak color is expected this year? Great pictures, gem of a...

    (non-skiing) Santaquin Meadows, UT camping 8/25-27/2017

    I'd love to see a trip report from telluride/silverton, especially dispersed camping. That area has been on my radar for a while and I might head out there soonish. Thinking to follow the changing season down the spine of the Rockies. Currently in gardiner, mt. heading north. There are some...

    Eclipse Camping/Viewing Options: Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming

    I was not a belieber going into this; both the partial and the annular eclipses I saw had been solid "meh"s. Totality is totally different. It was not earth-shattering or reexamine-your-life kind of different but I did say "wow" and that is worth driving 200 miles for. Like emsc said, it has...

    Eclipse Camping/Viewing Options: Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming

    Everyone I talk to, and in my personal opinion, the crowds aren't anywhere near what they were expecting. Just chatted with a ranger who said they set up some "pop-up" campsites by Jackson lake -- and those still have multiple open spots (as well as campsites south of Jackson). So if anyone's...
