Where did you go /out/ this weekend?
Pic related, me enjoying a great view of the Presidentials in New Hampshire.
Greylock reserve in western ma
Really great place
>>792474
Hit a few lines of the AT while I was there which was nice
>>792474
OP here. I live by Boston, haven't had a chance to go out west yet. Anything else nice there other than Greylock? It's on my to do list, but in the fall when leaves change.
>>792478
Yea there are a bunch of leantos scattered about that make for really cool camping and some great trails with cool points of interest. By mass standards the place is fucking massive. I live in southie so I made it an overnight. It's like a good 4 miles (tough for miles if you ask me) to the sites and than like 4-5 to get up to greylock depending on which leanto you get. Reserve a tent site in advance just in case you get the 1 in a million chance of someone getting at the leanto before you do but chances are good you will be very alone in your leanto
>>792471
18 km hike on a designated trail in Taevaskoja (Heaven's hall?), Estonia.
Heavy rain and some wind all day along. Originally intended it to be longer and a 2 day hike, but the weather was seriously shiet so I just rushed it.
Just got back yesterday from a week in the boundary waters canoe area. Unfortunately my camera broke right before I left so I have no pictures but I caught a shiteload of walleye and a few brookies so the trip was very worthwhile.
I really hope that everyone here on /out/ plans a trip to the bwca at least once. I am never as happy as when I am there.
>>792583
just checked it out online. that place looks super nice. I'm adding it to my kayak/canoe list, along with the everglades. i live in new england so we don't really have sprawled lakes and wetlands like that. maybe a couple places in ME or NH, and then upstate NY
I only stay inside a 10 square meter suicide box apartment.
Summer's nearly over and furthest I've gone from here is 1km to the gym.
>>792482
>I live in southie
Yuppie or OG?
>>792597
straddle the line. new southie for sure but i dont work for PWC and i dont complain.
the OGs have seemingly embraced me but i do wear a suit
Pine lake, Whatcom county Washington.
It's a short steep hike with a nice lake and some camp sites. I mostly went to take some pictures, but I'm also considering camping sometime soon. I can post some pictures if anyone is interested.
Went to the Peak District. Not sure how this will upload quality wise, hopefully it'll look alright. Was a good time, was out for 3 days, a bit sad to be back home really
>>792729
fuck her right there. right in the pussy.
Canoe camped Upper Priest Lake, Idaho Panhandle.

Thanks!
About an hour and a half, coming from Washington
>>792471
White mountains myself
>>792471
Worked last weekend but I visited RMNP for the first time last week. Got rained on a few times but comfy over all.
>>793137
where is this?
>>793897
awesome man, it's really cool!
if you can make a two or three night trip out of it, I'd recommend paddling from the portage site by Beaver Creek Campground on Priest, up against the current through the thoroughfare.
Upper Priest was slightly larger than I was anticipating. But in windy conditions it can still be crossed entirely from south to north in a little over an hour.
The trail that we day hiked is Upper Priest 302. It's 4 miles long from the northern most campground, Trapper. It's some badass old growth forest. Really dense. Not a place I'd like to run into a bear at.
302 ends on a Forest Service road. Head north up the road and you'll eventually run into Upper Priest 308 trail, which follows the Upper Priest River pretty much all the way to Canada. You're right on the edge of Washington and the Salmo-Priest Wilderness, and pretty much in the heart of the southern Selkirks.
I recommend it. Great area.
>>793897
On the 302. I got more pics, but I'll let you discover some of the more interesting spots if you manage to make it up there!
Cathedral Ranges, aus
saw a lyre bird, pretty cool
Okay one more.
There were a lot of mosquitoes on this part of the trail, partly due to the damp river bed you follow.
Also, there was a lot of moose sign along the trail. Tracks and scat. Running into a bull on this trail close to breeding season would be quite the story. I heard a moose stomping around in the water at about midnight on the opposite side of the lake. Pretty cool stuff.
There's some bear boxes at the official campground, but you'll want to hang a bag in the backcountry parts. So much bear sign in some places I'm surprised I went the whole weekend without seeing one.
Lost creek wilderness
>>793990
rare burd footage
>>793875
Looks like he's looking East toward the southern half of Lafayette ridgeline. Been awhile, he could be on kinsman or Indian head.
>>793981
>>793988
>>793993
Cool, thanks for the info. Looks awesome back there. Idaho has crazy /out/ land. There's so fucking much to explore. But I would really like to try canoe camping, never done it before.
I agree though, I would not be thrilled if I ran into a moose up there. I imagine it's mainly black bear, but I'm pretty sure there are some grizzlies up there too. Blackies I don't care much about (bears that is), but grizzlies are a different story.
Looks good man, I'm actually about to make a quick breakfast and get out for a short hike this morning. 46 degrees out this morning, fucking perfect. Cheers and thanks again for the info!
>>794121
nah, was lucky to wip out my phone in time to catch it dancing.
was making some pretty bizarre noises too which was great.
Sierra Norte de Puebla, Mexistan.
>>794129
Was a birdwatching trip, got to see a few cuties.
>>794101
Yea no problem man. If you look up the Selkirk Grizzly Recovery Area you'll see that it runs pretty far down into northern Idaho and eastern Washington. Pretty cool but sightings are very rare.
Have a good one
Bike trip from Niagara Falls to Niagara-on-the-Lake and back
>>794351
Some falls
On the road for work, had a couple free days and met up with coworker's family in Zion. Amazed by how disneylandish the place is. Paved trails, shuttle buses to trailheads, completely swarming with families, foreign tourists, and elderly folk
>>794758
Ugh that's why I avoid those places. No one ever takes pics of the people and tourists crowding a paved trail to all take the same picture.
>>794021
looks like a god damn alien sir.
Went for a drive around the olympic peninsula in washington a few weeks ago. Got a lot of quality reccomendations from you fine folks and I greatly appreciate you for it. Next adventure was supposed to be a hot springs tour around south west British columbia but it looks like the road is closed due to construction, so I'll probably just camp at some nice mountainside lake and chill out.
>>794784
Are you based out of Wash or British Columbia?
City slicker who wants more /out/ experience basically just wanting some local knowledge
This thread makes me really hate living in SouthEast PA.
This is from the hills behind the UoU campus, looking southwest towards the city
I'll resize / link panoramic shots if anyone's interested
>>794819
This is from the same spot, looking west at the Oquirrh Mountains and the big dang 'ol lake
>>794799
British columbia. What kind of knowledge are you looking for? cool spots? how to survive innawoods? How to kill a bear with a potato pealer?
>>794758
That's insane. I was just literally talkin to this chick on Bumble (some dating app... i know, i know) about national parks. I've been traveling the last year and have been to 23 NPs. She's a pro photographer. She messages me first and asks what my fav NP was. I say Yellowstone because I was there early and it wasn't crowded and the wildlife is unprecedented. She says, "HAH! Yellowstone? Hilarious." My other 2 favs were Glacier and Capitol Reef.
I ask hers and her first one is Zion.... Dropped.
When I went to Zion it was the exact same thing. I wanted to drive up to the trails/sites I wanted to visit. They had it all shut down. I forget the name of the little artsty fartsy tourist town in the valley of Zion, but it was literally shuttles that had 10-15 stops within 5 or so miles going up into the canyons. FUCK. THAT.
I loved the drive through the mountainside on the way in, but I rolled in and was checking things out.... I noped out. Drove around the backside and did some offroading and camping. Surprisingly enough, there is a backside entrance that is part Zion/part NF/part private land that has some great roads on it. I'd have to look it up again to find it, I just drove.
tl;dr: FUCK ZION (at least during the semi-busy season.) Gorgeous I'm sure, but I've got better places to spend my time if it's that pathetically run.
>>795375
To continue, I'll contribute a few pics....
Just moved to Boise, so indulge me.
This is down on the Snake river in the Raptor Conservatory/BLM southwest of Boise.
>>795381
This pic reminds me of the shire, LotR style. Outside of Lucky Peak somewhere, Boise.
>>795383
Same spot as the previous pic, just a pretty little trail that I've never seen anyone else on before. Love it.
>>795384
One more, this one is a nice little hiking trail over the Boise River. Along the highway, but so quick and easy to get to if you want a couple miles without driving into the backcountry.
Cheer boys/gals. Let's keep this thing bumped and see some more pics! Granted, these aren't from the weekend, but y'all will survive I imagine.
>>795386
I love these canyons where the banks have a sheer drop on the sides followed by flatness. Reminds me of the road runner cartoon.
>>795394
Similar for sure, but head south into southern /middle Utah or even NW Colorado and it's even more pronounced. Either way, gorgeous.
>>795375

Springdale and considering the amount of human traffic that in such a small area, do you really blame them for restricting vehicle access?

Kolob Reservoir is north of Zion and it's free to camp there. The Kolob Terrace Road also leads to the bread and butter of Zion, which is the backcountry trails (Subway, Narrows, West Rim).
Apart from the trails of Zion, there's a multitude of canyoning routes that will lead you through terrain that you probably won't find anywhere else in the world.
Zion is easily one of my favorite parks. There's a sequence of trails that lead from Kolob Canyons to Zion that I would like to backpack with my dad someday.
>>795437
Speaking of which, I was just barely in Zion.
>>795436
Yeah when I moved here I knew there were big mountains but I didn't how close to the city they were.
I'm a recent transplant so I haven't explored much yet, only the bonneville trail since I'm close to the U. Any recommendations?
>>795865
I know a bit more about Cache Valley and Southern Utah. I've tended to avoid SLC for outdoor things until recently, getting into rock climbing. Apparently the Cottonwoods are huge for rock climbing.
What little portion I did see of the Mount Olympus trail was amazing. Granted, we walked off the trail to climb, but the view was amazing. I'd recommend going up that trail all the way.
>tfw all we have in denmark are cozy rivers and lakes
atleast they are plentiful
It's not much but I went /out/ for pretty much the first time in my life a couple days ago. I don't know what you would call it, I just drove until the road turned to gravel and kept going, then pulled over occasionally to look at cool stuff. There was even a little trail down to the river.
This is on Washougal river, in Washington State.
Not me in pic. Im the one taking it. But pretty much looks the same.
Atsunte pass
About any mother fucking place I wanted to!
Shepards Falls. Wind River, OR.
This is a 10 foot drop with an 18 ft drop up right after this one.
This is a screenshot from my buddys video of me, hence the bad quality.
>>796786
Forgot the pic.
Devils lake state park, WI
20 minutes away from Wisconsin Dells
>>796486
Next time--do it on foot!
>>794351
nice, there's some awesome bike trails in niagara but you must know that by now
>>796486
Congrats man, that's one of the best ways to get started. Drive, enjoy the scenery and when the mood strikes, pull over and hop out for a bit and explore. If you aren't comfortable doing something, don't do it. You'll gradually feel better and want to go farther from your car and farther into the back country. Keep it up though, you're in a super /out/ state so the possibilities are endless.
Also, if you don't feel comfortable hiking into the woods or there aren't any established trails, bring a book or some music or a little stove and do some reading or make yourself a simple little meal/snack. You'll be hangin outside and be able to ingratiate yourself and feel better out there. Cheers and enjoy!
>>796838
madisonbro? heading out to DH next weekend myself.
Went on a hike to my local trail to try and find new fishing spots. I came across this beautiful tree. It was very nice, honestly. 4 giant carp in the river but I guess I'm not skilled enough for them yet, couldn't hook one at all, only small ones.
>>792471
Behind the dollar store. Was epic.
>>797197
>>797200
Not sure why it flips pictures... 3rd time it's happened to me on this board. Hopefully it works this time for people to see.
I woke up early and hiked an old trail. Made it to the 10 mile mark before I got bored.
Nowhere because it's 120 today
>>797211
This is the trail. It was pretty much this the whole way. Didn't look like anyone took care of it for years.
Waterton National Park, Canada
One of my favorite places. I have never been to Glacier (Canadian), but I imagine it is just as awesome.
Spent some time on the islands near Charleston, SC.
>>797499
looks like carnivorous stinkweed or skunkweed to me anon. i wouldn't recommend eating or fondling it. shit's disgusting and should be avoided.
Going out hiking this Thursday out near Seattle. Anyone got any good suggestions?
>>797203
Is this in Illinois? It looks so familiar.
>>792471
Was going to go for a full moon paddle to watch the solstice sunrise, until i looked at the marine report. Wind is already picking up. So i'm drinking beer on my porch.
>>797622
wuss
>>797624
Just lazy, I wanted something more Idyllic. Come 1am I found I didn't really feel like pulling an all nighter then paddling back into a 20kt headwind before breakfast. Besides, this comfy new patio chair of mine is as likely to sit on itself as my beer is to drink itself.
>>797610
No. Sorry no loc.
>>797655
Looks like a place a little northwest of Chicago. One of the suburbs.
Drove down Vermont from QC to MA along the 100. So many nice towns along the way, would highly recommend. Pic is Texas Falls, which is just off the highway.
Huron National Forest in MI for an overnight. Ticks everywhere, including lonestars. Nice weather though.
a Day hike across the South Downs
went to zaleski in SE OH
>>794130
For some reason I imagine that bird going "meep meep"
>>797499
Skunk cabbage. It's a very wet trail.
>>795386
I've been wanting to canoe the snake river
Wekiva River/Forest, Florida. Less than a mile from my house
>>794821
I can see my apartment from there
>>798336
It's beautiful. Idaho is super /out/ and i've just scratched the surface of it. When my friend comes to visit, we're gonna head u north and explore some of the real back country. Went again yesterday morning and caught a few largemouth below Swan Falls Dam. I try and get out there real early to catch sunrise and before it starts getting hot.
Went to a few hot springs near pemberton last weekend. Then took the long way back to vancouver and stopped at all the cool shit along the way. This is Birkenhead lake, damn near perfect conditions.
Island camping from last weekend with the gf.
feels good living in wyoming, jackson peak with the tetons in the back
WA State
>>799094
That dog looks like a perfect match for whoever that is
>>799656
I don't think anybody would mistake that for DC if you just wrote "Washington"
Not enough black people around.
>>799656
Wow. Did you take this? One of the best /out pics I've ever seen. Thanks!
>>799656
Where dis
>>799739
Yeah it was just a quick snapshot on my phone when I first got there
I'm not too keen on spending time taking photos
The picture doesnt do the place any justice though, the mountain with the snow straight up looks like a lunar landscape
>>799752
Goat Lake off of Mountain Loop Highway
>>799696
I learned my lesson quick on a short trip to Wesr Virginia.but I get what you're saying.
Shortly after this a cloud moved in and visibility was about 10 feet
>>799690
thanks, shes a 5 month old border collie. i take her everywhere

Not my pic, but hiked the one on the right a few days ago with a few buds.
Went up the ladder trail. View was great.
hit up tongariro for a bit. Wanted to camp but wasn't suitable :/

Where did you hike anon?
An American in Georgia is quite unusual
>>794808
If you're from California, no. If you're not, you'll be fine.
The last strech was a really steep climb to make without proper mountain gear, prolly around 60 degrees inclination on solid rock, had to use the whole body, but the vista was worthit.
Big Hill Pond in Tennessee. All I had time for. Nice for a state park in west TN
>>798398
Neat, I figure there must be a lot of Utah folks here. It's a pretty based /out/ state.
I'm currently without a vehicle, any sweet trails besides bonneville and Olympus that I can get to on public transit?
>>801809
jesus man this looks insane
I went to the river for fly fishing.
It's so fucking hot outside...
>>801809
What else are you doing in argentina?
Or are you a local?
