Using Google’s MyMaps for GPS navigation

by Chad Chandler | posted in: Gear, Hiking, Opinion | 2

Hiking Gear—The price / quality / weight nexus

by Chad Chandler | posted in: Gear, Opinion | 0

Just finished a weekend camping trip in southern Colorado. We got to drive the famous #MillionDollarHighway and grab a beer and some BBQ in Silverton. The #OurayPerimeterTrail was the most rewarding short hike I have ever done. You climb up into the mountains (often on the edge of a cliff) and walk completely around the entire valley town of Ouray. It was absolutely spectacular. The foliage was in peak colors and the temperature was perfect. It's easy to see why Ouray is called the "Switzerland of the Americas." We got very lucky with this trip. The next time we go, Jenny said that she will spend the morning at a day spa while I climb the #OurayViaFerrata. Click the hashtag to see what I'm talking about. 😉 #hiking #waterfalls #coloradolife #ouray
