I’ve previously written up a short account of the Modern Hiker charity hike for the American Foundation for Children with AIDS this July. Now (wow, this took me a long time), I’ve finally posted a short video featuring some of the photos and videos we took along the way. Of course, there’s a lot more [...]

Perseid “Fail” is Still Pretty Cool

August 16, 2010

Vimeo user ph dee went out into Anza-Borrego Desert State Park last week to try to get some time-lapse photos of the Perseid meteor shower, but was upset that the skies were mostly just cluttered with airplanes. However, I think you’ll agree that his beautiful night sky footage is very much NOT the fail he [...]

Runyon: Just Above Sunset

July 16, 2010

A while back, I ditched my DirecTV in favor of rabbit ears, Hulu, and steaming Netflix. I miss out on some of the live TV that I used to watch, but overall it’s been a pretty painless transition – made even better that I get to discover all sorts of great shows on Netflix that [...]

FYI – the East Fork is Tough Right Now

May 3, 2010

This just in – the East Fork of the San Gabriel River is high and fast right now … and presumably cold, too – but it’s always that way. Kolby was kind enough to update my write-up of the hike to the Bridge to Nowhere – one of the best hikes L.A. has to offer [...]

April 29, 2010

You’ve seen them before – lining picturesque canyons like Santa Anita and Icehouse. If you’re like me, you’ve probably even fantasized about owning one – but unless you know someone who owns one, you’ve probably never been inside one.

Desert Wildflower Video

March 10, 2010

I’m a little sorry to keep harping on Anza-Borrego here, but I really want to let LA hikers know about this little gem to our southeast. Also, the wildflowers are probably going to be pretty amazing this year, and it’s worth a trip to see them. Here’s a PBS video on the current bloom and [...]

February 3, 2010

A 22-episode webshow called “The Season” hit the internets on the Arc’teryx website. It’s just a teaser trailer, but it seems pretty interesting – following 5 different outdoor athletes through a single season in the Pacific Northwest as they attempt to conquer their various realms of expertise. It’s by the same guy who did The [...]

How NOT to Descend

January 7, 2010

On a lot of the trails here in Southern California, the rocks are loose, dry, and sandy – slippery areas that resist even the grippiest of boot soles. I’m sure many of you have seen some steep use-trails climbing up canyons off the established trail, and these paths seem like they’d cut off some distance [...]
