Step by Step DirectionsThe hike descriptions you receive from this Web site are much more than the "header" information found at other Web sites. Header information is the mileage, elevation gain, and difficulty of the hike. What you get from me is step by step directions from the trailhead to the peak or final destination. Here's my hike description for Mack's Peak. It has photos and detailed information. I've Done Every HikeI have done every hike on my Web site at least once and most hikes I have done many times. This gives me a chance to check the descriptions for accuracy and update any new information, such as missing trail signs. How can any one person have hiked 10,000 trails? The answer is, of course, they haven't. Those sites are taking hikes from numerous guidebooks (some out of date) and making them accessible via the Internet. Since each author is different, you have to get use to numerous techniques, subjective difficulty ratings, and the author's style of writing. Many of the Hikes are RoutesMany of the hikes on this Web site are routes. There are no trails to follow. In fact, I found and cairned these routes. You hike these routes by following the text descriptions and looking for key landmarks in the color photographs. To help you reach your destination I have enhanced topo maps by naming peaks, canyons, and washes that were not named on the topo map. You will Reach the PeakWith my hiking descriptions you will reach the peak. And many of these peaks see less than 30 people a year. If you are looking for a challenge and a true wilderness experience, you have come to the right spot. Click here for the different ways to buy the hike descriptions.
