Apparently, while I was focusing on my apartment move, the National Park Service was busy updating and improving several of their parks’ web sites.
Luckily, other people noticed. Now I’m noticing them. That’s how the Internet works.
The newly-redesigned Tennessee Trailhead shone its spotlight on the new Canyonlands site, which features a great 15 minute intro-to-the-park video, as well as videos on responsible desert hiking, the park’s geology, and river rafting.
It’s a great way to wind down your office-time before the weekend … as well as adding fuel for your trip-planning fires.

Hey Mr. Modern Hiker,
Since I only post trail reports and you actually post hiking-related news, I thought you might be interested in this article:

This is the part that freaks me out:
Police also found evidence that the pot farmers had been guarding their crop.
They recovered sleeping bags and found trash hung in trees to avoid attracting animals.
Sniper rifles with scopes and live ammunition also were discovered.

I know pot farmers sometimes booby trap the area around their plants. Last thing I want while on a hike is to stumble upon one of these.
