Hey folks! Does anyone have any recommendations for a fast-drying mesh upper hiking shoe or boot? Been sporting my goretex based boots for some time but was hoping to get a shoe that would be more useful with trips with lots of stream crossings (Glen canyon area?). Was looking at the Inov 8 but haven't been able to find one in person to try em on. Anyone have any experiences with these? Thaby KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
October seems a bit late? Also coming from a college track and xc background, I've never been that impressed with these FKT :/ they are quick alright but I feel is there was prize money, many of these records would drop very fast as some of those young marathoners would try em! I will say however that the unsupported records do impress me IE Heather Anderson...what a beast!by KevinD - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Couldn't say no to the early snow! Made for some epic views in the morning!by KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Wow pretty awesome photos fellas! Thanks for sharing!by KevinD - General Discussion
Was up at Humphrey Basin this past weekend and the snow below 10k melted away pretty fast. Ankle deep above 11k. I think you should be ok. Just might be alittle chilly though!by KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Wow that sounds like quite the adventure! Hopefully the fires around Neldar weren't too much of an issueby KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Ah missed that! Thanks for sharingby KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Wow! What a trip! Sounds like you had a blast out there. Did a similar route just a few weeks ago but went back over a pass near reymann pass towards Elizabeth (group really wanted to go swimming at Elizabeth). I'm trying to picture where you camped at night 1. We opted to camp somewhere along the Echo Creek valley area as it was so much greener than I remembered. Shame about your last campsiby KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Hey Nelson, I only one or two bites. My companions who wore short sleeves got a few on the shoulders. Overall on a scale of 1 to 5, I'd say it's a 1. You'll have a blast! There was still some wildflowers around so that was a nice touch. I'll upload a TR asap! -Kevinby KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra

Wow! Another amazing trip report! Glad you were feeling well by Day 3 and was able to enjoy the rest of your 8 day trip. The Ramp...I went down to Cherry creek last year using the "route" just north northeast of Lookout point. Is the ramp the slope to left of Lookout point? I eyed it on my climb back up to Kibbie Ridge but wasn't sure so just backtracked.by KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
We sort of got demoralized by the drier conditions so we never made it all the way to the end of big springs You, Basil, and chick-on have been terribly quiet lately! I know chick-on said you guys were doing some crazy adventure with a few resupplies...what could it be?? I look forward to the tr!by KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Good afternoon All! Hope the summer hiking has been splendid for all. Two weekends ago, Ash and I decided that we needed to recover from our cabin fever and opted to head up to Sequoia. Didn't really have any plan and just opted to see what was available at the ranger station at Grant Grove. Since I didn't want to drive through the morning, we went for an airbnb in Tulare...must say I generalby KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra

Quoteyosemitejim Flew in to Portland to see some friends. Went to Rainier for the day, on the way to Mount Baker. We stayed in Glacier Washington for a couple of days and hiked Heliotrope trail, and up around Artist Point. Hiked Easy Pass trail in North Cascades, and stayed in Winthrop. Hiked Heather Pass in North Cascades. Really like staying in Glacier Washington. It was really cool toby KevinD - General Discussion

For photosharing, I have uploaded photos to Flickr to share on this site. I have also found some success sharing through social media sites such as Facebook but the photo hotlinks eventually change.by KevinD - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
OHH I like 4-season tents! Which which! I just got the SD Convert. Somewhat light tunnel tent (no more than 5lbs) that should help ease my back pains on snow camping trips lol. May just use it for rainy trips too as its a double wall that pitches from the outside like the Hillebergsby KevinD - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
QuoteJustKeepWalking Not sure you can have too many tents I absolutely agree! That also applies to stoves and sleeping bags! (been trying to rationalize to the significant other why we all of a sudden got 3 4th season tents in the last few weeks....couldn't resist sales....)by KevinD - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
