    I wonder how many of us can remember the first really big hill we climbed, and looked down to see an expanse of greens and blues below us and above, and experienced wonder and passion. There is no doubt in my mind that, whatever our personal beliefs, feeling the beauty and power of landscape unencumbered by machines and human noise is one of the great spiritual connections. It is about love. The first big hill I climbed, at about 12 years old, was Snowdon. Subsequently I… Full Story »

    Suite101: Backpacking, Hiking and Camping &bull Dec 13, 2011

    In November 2011, a recent hike in the Inyo Mountains has shown just how bad the Snow Flake Mine Trail has become. In the words of Richard Elliott, a historian and a seasoned backpacker, "This is about 20 years worth of damage in less than six months." However, unless more extensive damage is done since November 2011, it is still possible, though much more difficult, to make the hike. A five-day trip is the probably the best bet, if one wants to spend at least a whole day exploring Beveridge. The most used trail into Beveridge is accessed through Saline… Full Story »
